TWENTY PLAYERS NAMED TO TEAM ATLANTIC ROSTER THAT WILL COMPETE AT NATIONAL U18 CHAMPIONSHIP

ANTIGONISH, N.S. – Team Atlantic and the four Atlantic Canadian hockey branches are proud to unveil the official roster of players and team staff who will represent the region at the 2023 National Women's U18 Championship.

Twenty players from across Atlantic Canada have been named to the Team Atlantic roster which was finalized following a summer camp that brought together 46 of the most talented female hockey players from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. The event was held at St. FX University in Antigonish, N.S., from July 26-30.

The summer camp served as a platform for the athletes to showcase their skills and compete for a spot on Team Atlantic, which will represent Hockey New Brunswick, Hockey Nova Scotia, Hockey PEI, and Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador at the 2023 National Women's U18 Championship in Dawson Creek, B.C. The national event is scheduled to take place from Nov. 5-11, 2023.

“Last month’s summer camp was a great development opportunity for players from across the region and we are really proud of the efforts that we saw on and off the ice throughout the week,” said Team Atlantic general manager Kori Cheverie.

The complete team roster can be found below.

Team Atlantic and the four Atlantic hockey branches would like to congratulate all the players and team staff members for being named to the final roster and wish them the best of luck at the 2023 National Women's U18 Championship later this year.
