Sasha Sherry Named USA Hockey Women's National Festival Roster
July 11, 2009 | Women's Ice Hockey
Princeton's Sasha Sherry was one of 41 players selected to participate in the 2009 USA Hockey Women's National Festival, which will take place August 18-24 in Blaine, Minn. The Festival will serve as the selection camp for the 2009-10 U.S. Women's National Team that will compete in the Qwest Tour, a 10-game domestic tour that begins Sept. 25 and ends just prior to the start of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, B.C.
Sherry was a second-team All-America last season with the Tigers. She was also a first-team All-ECAC and second-team All-Ivy selection as a sophomore. She led Princeton in scoring for much of the season and completed the season tied for the team with 22 points. That followed up a 21-point freshman campaign. Sherry scored eight goals and added 14 assists.
"The selection process for this camp has been ongoing for years," said Michele Amidon, director of women's hockey for USA Hockey, as well as the general manager of the 2010 Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Team. "Our staff has thoroughly evaluated the talent pool in the U.S. and has put together the absolute top crop of candidates to represent our country for the upcoming season."
The Festival participants will be divided into two teams for daily practices and games at the Schwan Super Rink, part of the National Sports Center. The Super Rink, which served as the home for the women's residency program set up by USA Hockey for post-collegiate members of its U.S. Women's National Program last season, will be the base for the 2009-10 U.S. Women's National Team from September until the Olympic Games.
On Aug. 24, USA Hockey will announce the roster for the 2009-10 U.S. Women's National Team. In mid-December, the 21 players who will compete in the 2010 Olympic Winter Games will be announced.
