Re: Hockey Canada U18/U22 Camp in Ottawa - Updates
They have just been practicing. Upcoming scrimmages will be the first indicators. Don't think it is appropriate to start naming players on here. Hope to check out the facilities (brand new) this weekend.Originally posted by Stick Boy View Post -

BTW Camp is just east of Rockland, in rural eastern Ontario region. Home stomping grounds of hockey notables Derek Roy, Stephane Yelle and Jacques Martin. Best known female player from that region would be Dominique Thibault.Originally posted by Stick Boy View PostComment

Re: Hockey Canada U18/U22 Camp in Ottawa - Updates
I also will be attending the last two under 22 games on sun. and tues.but will not be making any individual comments. I have looked at the makeup of the two teams and particularly the forwards--there is quite a difference between the two teams as far age is concerned,one has 6 of 90, 1of 91 and 5 of 92 whereas the other has 1 of 90, 3 of 91 5 of 92,2 of 93 and 1 of 94.Defence is not that much difference, it'll be interesting to see how balanced the two teams are.Comment

RED 1 - WHITE 0
RED SKATES AWAY WITH FIRST WIN OF INTERSQUAD ACTION
Rockland, Ont. – First game, first period jitters didn’t seem to bother National Women’s Under-18 Team selection camp rookies Ashleigh Brykaliuk (Brandon, Man.) and Hilary Lloyd (Toronto, Ont.), who hammered the White net with shots to open scoring in Rockland, Ont., and helped give Red a 1-0 win over White in Wednesday’s intersquad action.

White goaltender Amanda Leveille (Kingston, Ont.) made a beauty save on Lloyd’s initial shot from out front, she gave up a rebound to Brykaliuk and ended up sprawled in the crease, with the puck soaring high into the back of the net at 11:45 in the period.
Players on both sides scrambled for the puck throughout the first, as they found their footing and adjusted to their new teammates in a game setting, but as the matchup progressed they appeared to become more confident on the ice, and with each other.
White had several chances at making a comeback in the second, as Red was sent to the penalty box four times in the period, but despite creating some decent chances and getting some strong shots off, just couldn’t capitalize on the powerplay.
Both teams swapped their netminders midway through the period, with Elaine Chuli (Waterford, Ont.) replacing Emerance Maschmeyer (Bruderheim, Alta.) for Red and Kimberly Newell (Burnaby, B.C.) taking over White’s duties between the posts for Leveille.
By the time the puck dropped on the third, both teams were looking calm and confident on the ice, and the puck flew up-and-down the rink as White tried to crack the scoreboard and Red fought to maintain its lead.
In the end, however, the first game of Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 Team selection game belonged to Red, who skated away with bragging rights – at least until the next intersquad game at the Canadian International Hockey Academy, this Friday at 7 p.m. ET in Rockland.Comment

BLUE 5- YELLOW 2
PRÉVOST BOOSTS BLUE TO A 5-2 WIN OVER YELLOW
Rockland, Ont. – The puck flew up-and-down the ice, and both teams exchanged goals to keep the score close, until Carolyne Prévost stepped it up a notch late in the second to kick off her hat trick and help boost Blue to a 5-2 win over Yellow during intersquad action Thursday night.
But despite Blue’s convincing victory at Canada’s National Women’s Under-22 Team/Development Camp, Yellow was the team to crack the scoreboard first, with blueliner Lauriane Rougeau (Beaconsfield, Que.) taking a quick snap shot from the point at just over five minutes into the first.
But before the period was done, Blue’s Natalie Spooner (Scarborough, Ont.) evened the score, taking a pass out front from Mélodie Daoust (Valleyfield, Que.) and sending a snap shot soaring into the back of the net at 14:21 in the period.
The fast-paced, back-and-forth action continued unto the second, with Laura McIntosh (Waterloo, Ont.) scoring a powerplay marker at 13:36 in the period and both Brianne Jenner (Oakville, Ont.) and Sasha Nanji (Markham, Ont.) helping out.
But less than two minutes later, Blue answered back again, when Prévost scored her first of the night off quick passes from Jessica Campbell (Melville, Sask.) and Isabel Ménard (Ottawa, Ont.). The Prévost-Menard combination continued to click on the ice, with Menard again assisting Prévost just over a minute into the third to give Blue the 3-2 edge.
From then on out, it was all about Blue, with Prévost capping off her hat trick less than 30 seconds later by carrying the puck into the offensive zone, cutting across the slot and letting a beauty backhander go high into the Yellow net. Tara Watchorn (Newcastle, Ont.) also assisted, and then followed up with a goal of her own at 8:53, when she took a D-to-D pass from linemate Cassandra Poudrier (Lachenaie, Que.) – and a brief pause – before taking a quick and accurate wrist shot to top of her team’s 5-2 win.
Yellow will have a chance for redemption when it faces off against Blue again, this Sunday, August 14 starting at 7 p.m. ET at the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland.Comment

White 3 - Red 2
WHITE EARNS INTERSQUAD REDEMTION IN SHOOTOUT
Rockland, Ont. – Canada's National Women's Under-18 Team selection camp rookie Emily Clark (Saskatoon, Ont.) looked calm, cool and collected as she skated down the ice during a shootout, with all eyes from the benches and stands on her, and sent a low bullet flying through the five-hole and into the mesh to boost White to a 3-2 win in intersquad action Friday night.
Erika Sowchuk (Vauxhall, Alta.) opened the scoring for White in the shootout, while Meghan Dufualt (Winnipeg, Man.) had Red's only shootout marker, in what was an evenly played, well-matched game on the ice inside the newly built Canadian International Hockey Academy arena. The White win evens the selection camp intersquad score, as Red edged White 1-0 in the first of three games Wednesday.
It was Red to crack the scoreboard first, when Nicole Connery (Newmarket, Ont.) let a slap shot go from the point to make it 1-0 over White midway through the first. White struggled to put the puck in the net throughout the period, and was forced to dig out of an even bigger hole early in the second, when Meghan Dufualt (Winnipeg, Man.) made it 2-0 for Red just 13 seconds into the period.
But the second half of the game belonged to White, with Hanna Bunton (Belleville, Ont.) turning the momentum around in favour of her team as she skated into the slot, cut in close to the net, and put the puck over the goal line less than three minutes later.
Both teams fought hard throughout the third, Red to keep its one-goal lead and White to tie it up, but it was Kristyn Capizzano (Oakville, Ont.) who came through for her team at 11:53 in the period, when she took a shot from the left side of the net, sending the puck soaring high into the Red mesh, and the game into overtime.
The fast-paced action continued through five minutes of four-on-four OT, with neither team able to break the 2-2 tie before the buzzer sounded on the extra frame. Fans in the stands were given quite the treat, as they watched the most talented under-18 female players from across the country duke it out in a shootout, until the game was finally decided by Clark's stellar game-winner.
The third and final Red-White intersquad game takes place Saturday, August 13 at 4 p.m. ET, again at the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland.

Red 1 - White 2
WHITE TOPS RED TO TAKE INTERSQUAD SERIES
Rockland, Ont. – Like the two games before them, the third and final under-18 intersquad game was decided by a single goal, but in the end, the series belonged to White, who came from behind in Saturday afternoon’s matchup to edge Red 3-2 at Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 Team selection camp.
Media Gallery
Vickie Lemire (Riguad, Que.) sealed the deal for White, putting the puck over the goal line by deflecting an Erin Ambrose (Keswick, Ont.) shot just over thirty seconds into the final frame. Laura Stacey (Kleinburg, Ont.) helped set up the game-winning goal, as White took control of the puck off the opening faceoff of the third, in clear determination to break the tie and take the win.
It took more than a period and a half for either team to earn a marker, with both teams fighting hard to protect their netminders from the puck, and all players putting everything they’ve got on the ice for the final intersquad game of selection camp.
Ashleigh Brykaliuk (Brandon, Man.) finally broke the goose egg at 12:21 in the second, taking a pass from Emma Korbs (Toronto, Ont.) and deking out a couple of players in White’s defensive zone before using her impressive stick work to put the puck into the top of the mesh.
But White was quick to retaliate, with Abbey Frazer (Hudson, Que.) letting a quick shot go less than a minute later to tie it up at one-apiece.
The back-and-forth action kept fans at the Canadian International Hockey Academy watching in anticipation, but once Lemire notched a marker of her own to make it 2-1 for her team, White did everything they could to keep the puck out of their zone for the remainder of the game.
Even two powerplay opportunities in the third for Red wasn’t enough to give them a comeback, allowing White to take its second win in three games, and intersquad series bragging rights. After the final roster for the National Women’s Under-18 Team roster is named, Canada will play against the United States for a three-game series taking place Thursday, August 18; Friday, August 19 and Sunday August 21, also in Rockland.Comment

Re: Hockey Canada U18/U22 Camp in Ottawa - Updates
Must have been some tough decisions for the staff to make. It looks like they have selected a good bunch of girls with some decent size too! Let's hope they have thespeed and skill to compliment that. It should be an exciting series later this week in Rockland. I believe the USA U18's are being finalized on Monday, can't wait!Comment

Re: Hockey Canada U18/U22 Camp in Ottawa - Updates
In the final game of U-22 action:
Yellow 2 - Blue 3 (OT)
FORTINO FINDS THE NET IN OT, BLUE WINS INTERSQUAD SERIES
Rockland, Ont. – Laura Fortino (Hamilton, Ont.) accepted the puck from teammate Isabel Ménard (Ottawa, Ont.), skated down the ice with ease and shot high into the back of the net – all within 30 seconds of OT – to help Blue to a 3-2 win Tuesday at the Canadian International Hockey Academy.
The second win for her team at Canada's National Women's Under-22/Development Team training camp means that Blue also comes out on top in the three-game intersquad series, which saw Yellow beat Blue 3-2 in a shootout and Blue pummel Yellow 5-2 in the first two matchups.
Perhaps the outcome of the third and final game was foreshadowed in the first period, when Ménard opened the scoring with a minute and a half left, off a Kelly Babstock (Port Credit, Ont.) assist.
Yellow worked hard to keep the score close, with Christine Bestland (Brunkild, Man.) evening it up at 5:37 in the period to make it 1-1 at intermission, and continued to fight for the puck in the second. After several nice plays and shots from Yellow, Shelby Bram (Ste. Anne, Man.) helped her team earn the 2-1 edge on a goal just four minutes into the period.
Yellow was able to hold Blue at bay until the buzzer sounded on the second, but Blue came out of the dressing room in the third with a fire lit under their skates, pushing Yellow to the brink in every little battle on the ice. Yellow pulled out all the stops to maintain the lead, but a penalty late in the game left the team short a player, and Blue wasn't about to let that opportunity go to waste.
With just a minute left on the clock in regulation time, Fortino fed Mélodie Daoust (Valleyfield, Que.), who sent the puck flying past the Yellow goal line and sent it into overtime. Fortino followed up on Daoust's goal with one of her own in the fourth frame, sealing the win – and the intersquad series for Blue.
Following the camp, Hockey Canada scouts, along with the team's coaching staff, will continue to evaluate players with their club teams during the 2011-12 season, in preparation for selecting the Canadian team that will compete at the 2012 MLP Cup next January in Füssen, Germany. Canada has won this international tournament eight times in nine years, losing just two games.Comment
