Oregon head coach Dana Altman and his staff have a long-established connection recruiting in Canada.

Dillon Brooks, Chris Boucher and Chris Duarte are among the handful of players with Canadian roots who spent portions of their college careers in Eugene.

Now, Altman’s program will further establish that connection this summer. On Tuesday, Oregon announced in a press release that the Ducks will hit the road for a five-game preseason exhibition tour in Canada.

“We’ve always had a strong connection to Canada and are excited to go play in front of those fans,” Altman said. “It also gives Ethan (Butler), Keeshawn (Barthelemy) and Quincy (Guerrier) a chance to go home and play in front of friends and family, something I think will be really special for those guys.”

Oregon will begin the preseason slate when it faces McGill university on Aug. 21 in Montreal, Quebec. The entire list of games is as follows:

  • Aug 21 — McGill University (Montreal, Quebec) 1 p.m. PT
  • Aug 22 — University of Ottawa (Ottawa, Ontario) 4 p.m. PT
  • Aug 23 — Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario) 4 p.m. PT
  • Aug 25 — McMaster University (Toronto, Ontario) 4 p.m. PT
  • Aug 26 — Toronto Metropolitan (Toronto, Ontario) 4 p.m. PT
