Tosaint Ricketts (UW-Green Bay) and the Canadian national team will gather for the final time this year next week.

Coach Benito Floro called in 23 players for a camp that starts Sunday in Orlando, Fla., and concludes with an international friendly Nov. 18 at Panama in Panama City.

After going winless in 13 matches in 2013, Canada has lost just once in four friendlies this year – a 1-0 setback against Colombia, third in the FIFA World Rankings.

Ricketts, who has earned 34 caps for Canada, has two goals in 11 appearances in all competitions for Israeli club Hapoel Haifa this season. Hapoel Haifa is last in the 14-team Ligat Ha'al heading into Saturday's match against Beitar Jerusalem.
