The U.S. Collegiate women’s team features 12 forwards, eight defenders and three goaltenders. Six players on the team are from Minnesota and Michigan; three players hail from New York. Two players come from Missouri. Illinois, Massachusetts, Texas and Pennsylvania each have one player.

Three players are from the University of Wisconsin, which recently won the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey National Championship, including Kirsten Simms of Plymouth, Michigan, Casey O’Brien of Aquinnah, Massachusetts and Vivian Jungels of Edina, Minnesota. U.S. Under-18 National team standout Joy Dunne, of O’Fallon, Montana is also on the roster.

“This is a talented group that we’re excited to compete with next week,” U.S. Collegiate team head coach Chelsea Walkland said. “We have a lot of dynamic collegiate players that we know will represent Team USA proudly.”

The collegiate team is normally referenced as the Under-22 team, but due to extended collegiate eligibility, all players with collegiate eligibility were able to make the team.

The U.S. Under-18 team includes six returners, Kendra Distad of Burnsville, Minnesota, Rose Dwyer of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, Bella Fanale of Webster, Layla Hemp of Chanhassen, Minnesota, Maggie Scannell of Wynantskill and Josie St. Martin of Stillwater, Minnesota, from the Under-18 National team that took bronze at the IIHF Under-18 Women’s World Championship in January.

“We’re excited for the team we’ve selected to face off against Canada next week,” U.S. Under-18 team head coach Liz Keady Norton said. “This is a big first step in building our team for this year and the competition next week are a great way to get game action under our belt.”
