Griffin Dieter, Drake Foley, Mateo Fuerbringer, Cameron Kosty and Connor Oldani are all making their first appearances on a U.S. national team.
The 2025 Men’s U21 National Team was the most succesful in history, winning the first-ever medal at a U21 World Championship (bronze) and gold at the Pan Am Cup.
“We’re excited to work with a group of experienced and talented young athletes in preparation for our U21 Pan American Cup,” head coach Donan Cruz said. “This will be a blend of younger guys moving up from U19 and a few players from our U21 team that earned bronze in China at Worlds. This intersection will be a great springboard into our cycle as we look ahead to the next World Championships.”
