Three Princeton women's hockey players have been named to the Canadian National Women's Development Team it was announced yesterday.
Maggie Connors, Sarah Fillier and Claire Thompson made the 23-player roster after spending a week at the Team Canada Summer Showcase camp in Calgary. The team will now prepare for a three-game series against the United States on Aug. 14-17 in Lake Placid.
Connors and Fillier are two of 11 players who were on last year's team that competed against the US in a three-game series. Fillier is one of three on the roster that competed for Canada's National Team at the 2018 Four Nations Cup in Saskatoon. Thompson, who earned her first invitation to a Hockey Canada camp this summer, makes the team on her first tryout.
Princeton head coach Cara Morey and assistant coach Courtney Birchard-Kessel are assistant coaches with the National Development Team.
Princeton opens the 2019-20 season on Oct. 25 & 26 hosting Syracuse in a two-game series at Hobey Baker Rink. Admission to all home games is free.
