Preview: 'The beginning of a new era' for the Canadian men's national team

There are plenty of storylines awaiting Tuesday night's international soccer match at Stade Saputo in Montréal as Canada faces Curaçao in their send-off match before the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup (4:30 p.m. PT kickoff on TSN 1, 3, 4, and 5).

Take your pick: Octavio Zambrano's men's national team coaching debut for Canada; possibly the last home international match for hometown hero Patrice Bernier; and anywhere from one to six international debuts of young international players, including a 16-year old teenager named Alphonso Davies.

Davies, who just received his Canadian citizenship last week, is one of three Vancouver Whitecaps FC players on the roster, including fellow Whitecaps FC Residency grad Russell Teibert, who could make his first national team appearance since September 2015, and Marcel de Jong, one of the most experienced players on the roster with 50 caps.
