Canada, the United States, Mexico, Cuba and Honduras are just some of the nations that will take part in the tournament that will crown the regional champion.
Both Gervais and Bernier have past national team experience and the pair represented Canada last year in a friendly against the United States in preparation for the 2006 World Cup.
