OTTAWA — Football Canada is proud to announce the addition of defensive linemen Brian Guebert and Michaël Jean-Louis to the Senior Men’s National Team roster competing in Austria this summer at the 2011 International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Senior Men’s World Championship.

Guebert played in the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) for his hometown Saskatchewan Hilltops prior to moving on to the University of Saskatchewan where he earned first team CIS all-Canadian distinction in 2006.

He last played competitively in the CFL for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers during the 2008 season and continues to stay active in football through coaching. He earned his level 2 coach as well as his level 3 technical certification through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP).

Michaël Jean-Louis, who hails from Granby, Québec, is a former two-time first team CIS all-Canadian defensive lineman at Université Laval. He was named defensive MVP for the East squad at the 2006 East-West Bowl after tallying one solo tackle and three assisted including a half-sack.

Jean-Louis was selected in the 4th round of the 2007 CFL draft, 26th overall by the Edmonton Eskimos.
