ITHACA, N.Y. -- Four members of the Cornell women's hockey team
have been selected to participate in the U22 Canadian National Team
Camp, which will run from Aug. 6-14 in Calgary, Alberta. Sophomores
Catherine White and Chelsea Karpenko will be joined by incoming
freshmen Lauriane Rougeau and Laura Fortino for the week-long
camp.
The quartet will be among 42 players vying for a spot on the
roster for Team Canada at the 2010 MLP Cup in Ravensburg, Germany,
in January 2010. Additionally, the U22 team will play a three-game
series against the Canadian National Team in Calgary in mid-August
as the senior team, which includes Cornellians Rebecca Johnston and
Brianne Jenner, continues its preparation for the 2010 Winter
Olympics.
Karpenko and Rougeau were teammates last year on Canada's U22
team, while Fortino was a member of the U18 team last season.
The camp will include the U22 team from Sweden, while the 42
Canadian players have been split into White and Red teams. Rougeau
and White will play on the Red team, while Karpenko and Fortino
have been assigned to the White team. The three teams will play
seven games, with both the Red and White teams playing five games
each and Sweden playing four.
