2015 Pan Am games is very similar to that which they used at the U-20 World Cup in Toronto last summer. This is good news as Canada impressed in that competition before losing a narrow 2-0 game to the eventual champions from Germany.

There are a couple of crossovers from the Canada 2015 team, and they will likely represent the core of this squad. This includes Kadeisha Buchanan, who has likely been the country's busiest player over the last couple of years but never turns down a call to represent les rouges.

Joining her on the Pan Ams squad are recent World Cup standout Ashley Lawrence who scored Canada's lone goal against Netherlands on Monday, Jessie Fleming and Canadian third keeper Stephanie Labbe.

The team, coached by Daniel Worthington, will alsoinclude a number of the standouts from the U-20 tournament, Janine Beckie chief among them. Nichelle Prince, Emma Fletcher and Kinley McNicholl have also been included.

All this should give the Canadian team a strong chance to defend their Pan Am Games title. They kick off the tournament on July 11 and play in a group with Brazil, Costa Rica and Ecuador.
