Within this player pool, 17 players were part of the gold medal-winning 2019 IIHF Women’s World Championship team, 14 players were members of the 2018 gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic Women’s Team, and 31 players are current collegiate athletes. There are also 16 different states represented from across the country.
For many, this is the first time seeing each other since the conclusion of the Rivalry Series in Anaheim, Calif. this past February. To say there is excitement here at camp is an understatement. There were constant smiles in the hotel lobby as teammates arrived and gave elbow bumps in an authentic, socially distant fashion.
Five days may seem short, but this week’s evaluation camp is what this team has been patiently anticipating.
