Canada has once again been drawn into a tough group at a major competition.
The Canucks are the third ranked team in their Olympic group, behind World Champion Japan, world No 5 Sweden and outsiders South Africa.
Canada opens the tournament July 25 against Japan before playing South Africa July 28. Both games are in in Coventry. They wrap up the preliminary round against Sweden at Newcastle July 31.
Defending Olympic champion United States was drawn with France, Colombia and North Korea
Hosts Great Britain face New Zealand, Cameroon and Brazil.
The top two in each group advance to the quarterfinals as well as the two best third place finishers. With goal differential important it is imperative that Canada not have a meltdown like we saw against France in Germany.
