While Canadian teams are always incredibly competitive, 2013 was an incredibly strong season for Canadian teams. What remains to be seen is if 2014 will be at the same level. 2012 was an incredible season for MAR teams (25 winning the championship, 341 being arguably the best team in the world, and MAR teams winning several outside regionals), the performance of the region regressed in 2013. It will be interesting to see if Ontario really has replaced Michigan as the elite region in FRC, or if it was simply a incredible year from a good region.
