The Champlain Heights Elementary School student helped the Burnaby Selects win the u-13 boys’ Provincial A Cup this weekend in his final game with the Metro league club.
"I can't wait to go to Brazil and to see the professional players, especially Zidane. It will be a great time and I am so proud to represent team Canada in Brazil at the international final," he said.
