National U-19,U-18 Women's Team

[frtltrtl]

In the past, I believe that USA Hockey sponsored a women's U-22 team. I have heard that there is consideration for establishing a women's U-19 or U-18 team this summer. Can anyone confirm this? Will it be a U-19 or U-18 team? What birth years would be considered in each of these groupings? How will the selections be made? Any information would be helpful.

There will be a U19 team which will play against Canada, and at least two other U19 teams (not sure if those are National teams such as Sweden, or international all-star, or say NAHA and NCCP) The camp will be held during the Women's National Team Festival in Lake Placid in August, at the same time as the U22 team.

As far as when the team will be picked, I haven't been told. I will try and find that out, and will report back when I do.
