North Vancouver’s Jake Ruby is one of 23 players taking part in an evaluation camp for Canada Soccer’s men’s national U17 team this week in Toronto.
The players, all born in 2000 or later, are all gunning for a spot on Canada’s roster for the CONCACAF U17 Championships scheduled for April 21-May 7, 2017 in Panama. The top-four teams from that competition will advance to the FIFA U17 World Cup to be played next year in India.
Last year Ruby helped the Argyle Pipers win silver at the high school senior boys provincial AAA championships before moving on to the Vancouver Whitecaps residency program this season.
