Hockey Canada has announced that 109 of the country's top young players are invited to participate in a pair of virtual camps with Canada's National Women's Program.
Fifty players (eight goaltenders, 16 defencemen and 26 forwards) are attending the BFL CANADA National Women's Development Team summer camp, where they will meet weekly until athletes return to university in the fall.
Fifty-nine players (nine goaltenders, 20 defencemen and 30 forwards) are attending the BFL CANADA National Women's Under-18 summer camp where they will meet weekly until the 2021 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship, which is expected to be held from Jan. 5-12 in Sweden.
The U18 roster includes three players who won silver at the 2020 IIHF U18 Women's Championship (Eve Gascon, Sarah Paul, Sarah Wozniewicz), with another five as part of the development roster (Anne Cherkowski, Kendall Cooper, Nicole Gosling, Ashley Messier, Ann-Frederik Naud).
"It is important to recognize the accomplishment of these athletes being identified in our program at the under-18 and development level; they are a big part of our future moving forward," said Gina Kingsbury, director of women’s national teams with Hockey Canada. "The virtual sessions taking place allow us to connect and educate our athletes on their development. We are also trying to take advantage of this opportunity to connect our next-gen athletes with our current senior athletes, creating a strong tie between generations of our program."
Hockey Canada also announced the coaching staff for Canada's National Women's U18 team for the 2020-21 season.
Howie Draper, who has led Canada to gold (2019) and silver (2020) at the U18 women's world championship, returns as head coach.
He will be joined assistant coaches Alison Domenico, a women's hockey assistant coach at Providence College, Tara Watchorn, who was an assistant at the 2020 U18 women's worlds, and goaltending coach Gord Woodhall, who was part of the medal-winning staffs in 2019 and 2020.
