The madness of the national tournament circuit begins and before you know it, the club season will come to a close!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Can Am is bringing in some of the best in the midwest to the home of Motown for one last tournament before the madness begins in June. Here's all you need to know and the players you need to see before break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are five pins to look out for at Can Am!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='176604' first='Holland' last='DeVries'] - 5'10 OH - Dead Frog</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a great high school season with Kalamazoo Christian as an All-State attacker, DeVries has been keeping steady with her club team as well. She's the calm, cool and collected presence for this Dead Frog squad and she brings a lot to the table as a six rotation outside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Katie Berry - 5'10 OH - L2</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We don't talk about this player enough, but to say that she has been making her mark this season is an understatement. In her second season with L2, Berry has become the face of this squad. She's become L2's leading attacker and leading passer, she simply cannot be taken off the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='222362' first='Danielle' last='Mertz'] - 5'10 OH - Michigan Elite</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Michigan Elite 17 Elite has been one of the top teams in the Premier/USA Division all season long. One of the biggest reasons, [player_tooltip player_id='222362' first='Danielle' last='Mertz']. Mertz has steadily played an impact sub role for Marian for the last two seasons as both a pin and a middle. Now, a six rotation player, Mertz really shines in this role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='110329' first='Hannah' last='Tymitz'] - 6'0 OPP - Legacy </h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tymitz is another power player on another top team in the Premier and USA divisions this season. Seeing as though a lot of her teammates are being swooped up by colleges, I am surprised she isn't already. She's a dynamic player on the right side that has experience in the middle as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='171378' first='Raegan' last='Stader'] - 5'9 OH - Circle City </h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Circle City just knows how to produce top notch pins. Stader comes as another top product in a long line of outside hitters. Slightly undersized, her hops and ball placement makes her dangerous. Stader can also ball out in the back court as one of Circle City Black's top passers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
