We’re still a few months off from hockey season, but this week Hockey Canada gives women’s hockey fans a chance to watch some high-level hockey from Winsport Arena in Calgary.
The National Women’s Development Team (or Under-22 team) and Women’s Under-18 Team are holding concurrent camps this week, where a total of 89 players are vying for a spot on one of two teams. The finalized Development and Under-18 teams will then take on their counterparts from USA Hockey in a three-game series in Lake Placid (more on that next week).
Team Japan, Team France, a team of U Sports all-stars and the Russian Under-18 team have been invited to play against Team Gold and Team Red in the Development Team camp, and the Russian Under-18 team will also take on Team Blue and Team White in the Under-18 camp.
