This year, it will take place virtually because of COVID-19. Players invited to the U-18 camp will have weekly meetings with the coaches and management until the 2021 IIHF U-18 Women’s World Hockey Championships.

While meeting virtually, Hockey Canada plans to discuss and educate players on various topics. These include at-home strength and conditioning plans, mental performance plans and check-ins, nutrition, dry-land skills, skating simulations, team-building activities, short-term international competition preparation and meetings with coaches.

The 2021 U-18 Women’s World Hockey Championship is scheduled for January 5-12 in Sweden.
