Much discussion has taken place over the explosion of young basketball talent in Canada and the annual anticipation over our youth National Teams. However, there hasn’t been a historical reference to all those that put Red & White jerseys on to represent our country with pride. In the fourth of a four-part series, HoopStars Canada will give thanks to members of every youth National team in our history.

All Under-17 teams, beginning in 2010, are featured in this fourth and final instalment. Each team competed in the FIBA World Championships.

Rosters will feature approximate heights, home province with graduating high school/prep program, and post-secondary playing careers.
