Eight countries are set to do battle when the Richmond Olympic Oval hosts the 2014 Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rugby Tournament in June.
The Canada Cup, which is considered one of the most prestigious wheelchair rugby tournaments in the world, will take place from June 19-21. The host nation will be joined by Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden, Great Britain and Denmark.
"We're excited to once again bring worldclass wheelchair rugby to the Richmond Olympic Oval and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Canada Cup," said B.C. Wheelchair Sports Association Executive Director Gail Hamamoto. "We're confident that this year's Canada Cup will be the best one yet."
For the first time, the results at Canada Cup will impact the world rankings leading into the 2014 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships. Canada is currently ranked No. 3.
