Following their respective summer camps, USA Hockey and Hockey Canada have announced their rosters for a three-game U18 series taking place this week in Lake Placid, with games on August 13, 14 and 16.
Each roster feature nine players that represented their country at the 2025 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship (Ismael, Korte, Leprohon, McCullough, McDonald, Piggott, Caileigh Tiller, Tremblay and Viel who won gold with Canada and Amelkovich, Averill, Daley, Hartmetz, Kimbrel, Lovell, Scalese, Stickney and Taylor who won silver with USA).
Five Americans that played in that tournament were invited to the festival camp but were not named to this roster - Haley Box, Emma Cerutti, Mary Derrenbacher, Finley Engfer and Sydney Stoughton. It will be interesting to see if they are back in the loop come December or not.
The games in this and the Collegiate Selects series will be shown on USAHockey.tv. A single game is $14.99 and a month subscription is $29.99.
The USA U18s are coached by Courtney Kennedy. Canada's U18s are led by Vicky Sunohara.
For the Americans, 17 of the rostered players have committed to NCAA programs. Minnesota and Princeton lead the way with three commitments each, while Cornell, Minnesota Duluth, Penn State and Wisconsin each have two. Harvard, Minnesota State and Providence each have one.
