Internationally, he has competed for Canada in the World Lacrosse Field Championships, World Lacrosse Box Championships, and World Games. He won the 2024 WLBC Championship with Team Canada.

Known for his cerebral style of play, Teat will elevate the FireWolves offense with his elite goal scoring and playmaking ability. He has scored 108 points or more in all five of his NLL seasons with his career high being 136 points in 2023. He served as Team Captain with the Ottawa Black Bears and will bring his tremendous leadership and work ethic to Oshawa.
