The Canadian side is led by Shawn Williams, who will coach his daughter Dylana in the tournament. 

The Americans will bring some of the biggest names in the sport with them to Chengdu, headlined by Charlotte North. The group also features this year’s Tewaarton award winner Chloe Humphrey, and in total features a total of six Tewaarton trophies between Humphrey, North, Izzy Scane and Sam Apuzzo.
