We are about to have our first top tier Women’s World Championship in an Olympic year and Team USA has released their roster. Once again the team is loaded with players that have either played college hockey or professionally here, in numerous cases both. Harvard is the only Beanpot school not to be represented, Boston College leads with four, Northeastern has three while Boston University has a single alum on the team.
This year sees a number of fresh faces notably BC’s Hannah Bilka but also some glaring omissions such as Briana Decker who likely has not recovered from her Olympic injury this year.
