USA Hockey announced today the 28 players invited to the the U.S. Women’s National Under-18 Winter Festival, Dec. 27-31, at Schwan’s Super Rink in Blaine, Minn., and three of them call Michigan home.
Megan Keller, Tori Sullivan and Abby Roque will be Michigan’s representatives at the Winter Festival, which serves as a tryout for the U.S. Women’s National Under-18 Team.
The girls selected for that team will take part in the International Ice Hockey Federation Women’s Under-18 World Championship, March 23-30, 2014, in Budapest, Hungary.
