Fillier, Thompson Return to Team Canada Training Camp
March 01, 2021 | Women's Ice Hockey
Sarah Fillier and Claire Thompson are back with Team Canada as the national team program continues player evaluation for the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship in April.
March's camp, set for March 1-7, is in Halifax, Nova Scotia, one of the sites in that province for the IIHF World Championship, which will run April 7-17.
Fillier and Thompson were also part of a January camp in Calgary, which was Team Canada's first in-person, on-ice training since before the pandemic.
Both Tigers are among the youngest on the 35-player roster for the March training camp, with Fillier as the only current collegian and Thompson as the fourth-youngest player of the 35.
Both have also cemented their place in Princeton's program history, with Thompson graduating in 2020 standing fifth among defensemen on Princeton's all-time scoring list with 87 career points on 31 goals and 56 assists. She was an All-ECAC honoree twice during her career, was All-Ivy three times and was also an Academic All-Ivy selection.
Fillier finished her sophomore season in 2020 with 22 goals and 35 assists for the second straight year, giving her 70 assists and 114 points to stand already more than halfway to Princeton's career records for assists (122) and points (218). Fillier has earned AHCA All-America honors in each of her first two seasons as well as All-ECAC and All-Ivy.
