The Team USA Men’s Squad gathered today in JFK Airport in New York City to fly out to Abu Dhabi to begin their tour of the Middle East with the first game scheduled for the end of the week.
It is a crucial tour for the United States who will be looking to build on their success in September where they claimed the Auty Cup back from Canada for the first time in 26 years.
There was an enjoyable moment for those in the squad based on the West Coast as they bumped into superstar rapper, TPain who was kind enough to pass on his best wishes to Team USA and stop for a quick photo with Elmore Hutchinson et al in LA airport!
