‘Caps contingent brings long history in Canada men’s national team program

The Gold Cup has begun with four Vancouver Whitecaps FC players at the helm for Canada: Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau, centre backs Derek Cornelius and Doneil Henry, and midfielder Russell Teibert.

All four have accumulated their fair share of experience on the international stage. But when did they each start representing the Red & White?

Crépeau had a long youth history representing Canada. The goalkeeper was 15-years-old when he first played for Canada as the starting goalkeeper at the 2011 Concacaf U-17 Championships. He collected four clean sheets in five matches and led his team to make history by qualifying for the FIFA U-17 World Cup for the first time since 1995.
