[Toronto, ON]: Canada Basketball released the roster, revealing a roster completely composed of CIS talent. This marks only the second time in history that the red and white roster is comprised entirely of CIS players; the all-CIS squad returned from Shenzhen, China with a silver medal in 2011. Berhanemeskel completed his five year CIS career in March by being named the national Player of the Year for CIS.
“It feels good being recognized to play in a big event like this,” says Berhanemeskel. “I've never been part of Canada Basketball in regards to the national team program, so I'm excited to learn and see what it’s all about.”
