Recently discovered your blog and love it. Question: Why isn't Kane on the team?
Kane Waselenchuk, like many other pros in the past - Cliff Swain, Jason Mannino, Sudsy Monchik, has chosen not to play international events. Of course, it would be great to have him play for Canada and in general great for racquetball, although the more important events for him to do so would be at the World Championships or the Pan Am Games.
An interesting question is who will play for the USA in Honduras, as there are WPRO and IRT Tier 1 events the last weekend of March, which is in conflict with the Pan Am Championships.
