This week, USA Hockey named Olympic gold medalist and incoming BC Women’s Hockey freshman Cayla Barnes the captain of its U22 team, the top developmental team for Team USA. The only step above U22 is the national team roster — which Barnes is already a part of.
"Being able to lead this team is a huge honor."
