Travelling to Poland, the tournament took place from August 31 to September 4, seeing the Peters sister, along with their team, take on New Zealand, Hungary, Italy and Australia through their four game tournament. The sisters left their mark on the world stage through their play, and will be sure to brings their new experiences back to the club to continue help the growth of the game throughout the region.

Cambridge FC is committed to the development of female floorball players and are excited to see the Peters's sisters displaying their skills on the world stage. Through four games, Elly finished the tournament with 2 goals, having a highlight reel goal in their final game against Australia, which helped land her the player of the game award. Macy finished the tournament as the best goalie on the Canadian team with a 81% save percentage through four games. Only allowing 13 goals, Macy was a big part of the success of the team, providing some signature big saves throughout the games, in addition to a big momentum shifting save in a penalty shot against New Zealand early on in the tournament. The two sisters have made Cambridge FC very proud, with board member and Director of Club Communications, Mytchell Brush stating that,
