Also, the 2016 HPP list has been released

There is a new name: Brent Godman. Quick search showed that he lives in Gotland (Sweden), has a Canadian mother, and is one of the best orienteers on the island (quite possibly the best), ranked just outside top 100 in the Swedish rankings. So it can be quite interesting! His decision to try for the Canadian team actually made news on Gotland:

He also has an Attackpoint log:
