Nova Scotia kicker selected for under-18 national football team

Lantz, N.S. – After Greg Hutchins’ impressive performance at the 2013 Football Canada Cup, there was a good chance he was going to be selected as an all-star, which lands a spot on the National Team.

Hutchins, 16, is currently the only player from the Maritime’s selected for the National Team.  At the championships held in Moncton last month Hutchins also received the MVP Special Teams Award. Over the course of the tournament he accounted for 24 of Nova Scotia’s 38 points including all 19 points against New Brunswick in their pair of mini-games. He also punted for a combined 876 yards, averaging 41.7 yards per punt.

With the selection of all-stars they have now earned an automatic invitation to the under-18 National Team to compete against Team USA. The game is tentatively scheduled to be played in February of 2014 in Dallas, Texas. The final 14 players will be decided once the coaching staff has been confirmed for the event. This staff will be made up of coaches that participated in the 2013 Football Canada Cup.
