We send even more congratulations to Madeline Wethington, her 2023-2024 GWH teammates Peyton Hemp & Ella Huber, and Minnesota alumnae Taylor Heise, Kelly Pannek, and Grace Zumwinkle as the six received invitations to the 2024 USA Hockey Women's National Festival, being held August 4 through 11 in Lake Placid, New York.
In addition to the 75 Festival invitees who have been playing professionally or collegiately, another 76 players were invited to the Under-18 Select Player Development Camp, also being held in Lake Placid. At the end of the two events, USA Hockey will select rosters for the U.S. Under-18 Select and U.S. Collegiate Select Teams, who will each face their Canadian counterparts in games on August 14, 15 & 17 at the Seymour-Hannah Sports and Entertainment Centre in St. Catharines, Ontario. We'll share the Collegiate Select Team roster when it's announced and information on how to follow the team's games as it becomes available.
