The camp roster features a total of seven League standouts, including Hunt. Other League standouts are: goaltenders Christina Kessler (Harvard) and Kristen Young (Princeton); defensemen Brittaney Maschmeyer (St. Lawrence) and Britni Smith (St. Lawrence); and forwards Sam Hunt (Colgate) and Rebecca Johnston (Cornell).
A total of 40 players will participate in the camp that will

will split the 40 players into two teams, Red and White, which will

Hockey Canada will use the camp to select 22 players for a
three-game series against the USA Women's Under-22 Select Team in
Pierrefonds, Quebec. The selections will be made immediately at the
end of the camp. Practice for the series with USA will begin on
