The Team

What does it take to build Team Canada?

In The Team, Episode 3 of Road to Sixes, the focus shifts from the format of the game to the people and structure behind the jersey. This chapter explores what goes into building a Canadian Olympic team, from leadership and vision to the athletes who will represent the country on the world stage.

Creating a national team is more than selecting the best players. It is about building a program where culture, identity, and accountability come first. From coaches and staff to the athletes themselves, every piece must align around a shared standard.

Across the country, Canadian players are shaped by different systems and experiences. Box arenas, field programs, and competitive pathways produce some of the most skilled and creative athletes in the world. When those players come together under one jersey, the challenge becomes turning talent into a true team.

Building a championship team means establishing trust, defining roles, and creating an environment where every player understands the responsibility that comes with representing Canada.

Because wearing the maple leaf is not just about making the roster.

It is about becoming part of something bigger.
