Hockey Canada’s Women’s National team will continue training camp today, and later this evening the hopefuls will begin exhibition action against a pair of North West Junior Hockey League teams.

The National team hopefuls have been split into a pair of squads who will each play the Dawson Creek Jr. Canucks of the Fort St.John Huskies of the North West Junior Hockey League.

Huskies President Mike Bacco stated this is an exciting opportunity.

“It’s going to be really exciting. Not often you can say you are playing Olympic competitors, so we are really looking forward to it.”

The Huskies General Manager Jeremy Clothier echoed those comments.

“It’s not something you can do every day or every year. When they approached us and Dawson Creek we both jumped at it. Pretty good experience. It will be a learning curve for our guys as these women are vying for spots on the National team for the next Olympic run.”

Clothier added he wouldn’t be surprised if these ladies skated around a lot their guys early on.
