Arseneault Selected to ECAC Hockey All-Star Team Against Team USA

ALBANY, N.Y. – ECAC Hockey announced Thursday that sophomore forward Émilie Arseneault will represent the ECACH All-Star Team when it will face the United States Women’s National Team on Jan. 4 at the TD Bank Sports Center on the campus of Quinnipiac University.

As part of Team USA’s 2009-10 Qwest Tour, the 10-game domestic tour was created to prepare Team USA in the elite-level of competition for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, B.C.

“The ECAC Hockey All-Star game will be a great event for our league and for Team USA,” said Union College head coach Claudia Asano. “It is an honor to have Émilie chosen from our team, and a reflection of both her talent and work ethic.”

As one of the six sophomores selected to the team, Arseneault will make her first appearance to the all-star game. This season, she has scored three goals and posted one assist. Arseneault is currently second on Union’s scoring list this season.

A native of Rothesay, N.B., Arseneault has been known for her speed. In 16 games played, she has averaged 3.75 shots per game, a team-high.

Arseneault’s first goal was on Oct. 16 against Sacred Heart in the Dutchwomen’s home opener. In addition, she scored the go-ahead goal in Union’s 3-1 win over Sacred Heart on the following day.
