The US Men’s National Team is entering an exciting next phase for the program. We are expanding our player pool, and looking for more opportunities to play as a team as we continue to grow and compete on the world stage. Toward that end we are implementing multiple training camps (in both the USA and Europe) and building a roster of players who are able to compete together more often at higher level events, and not just at WFC events.
We are also adding more tiers to the program so that players who are unable to compete at certain events are still part of the program. For starters we will have a Tournament Team and a Club Team. Players will be able to move between the teams as their abilities grow and their schedules allow. We hope to have at least 40 selected players on our Tournament A and B teams, and an unlimited number on the Club team.
Tournament teams require an invitation. Club team membership is open to anybody that wants to be part of the program and improve his floorball skills. These players will have access to the same coaches and clinics as Tournament Team players so they can be on board with our coaching systems, playing styles, and more. The goal is to have a place for players to transition from youth teams or those who are newer to floorball to grow into a Tournament Team role. Players of all levels are welcome on the Club team.
Our front office is as follows:
Matti Kaipio – Head Coach
Tuomas Korhonen – Assistant Coach
Nick VanPatten – Assistant Coach
Aake Kettunen – Goalie Coach
Ryan Connor- General Manager
Joel Olofsson- Director of Operations & European Liaison
Cole Connor- Assistant General Manager
Dan Torretta – Team Manager
Floyd Colleps – Team Manager

Upcoming schedule:March 17 – 22, 2026 WFC Qualifier – Georgetown, TX
June 12 – 14, 2026 3 v 3 World Championship - San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Spain
