The two local goalies as Canada’s National Women’s Program invited the nation’s top goaltenders to its annual goaltending camp as part of the evaluation process for identifying the players who will be invited to future national team camps and events.
This year’s goaltending camp featured eight netminders in the under-18 group – three of which took part last year; five goaltenders in the development group; and four international medallists with the national team group.
“We have some of the top goaltenders in the world and we want to capitalize on each player’s talent,” said Melody Davidson, Hockey Canada’s general manager of national women’s team programs in a release.
“This is a chance for our players to learn from and train with some of the best women’s high performance goaltending coaches in Canada, both on and off the ice.”
North Bay’s Colton Point was also invited to a similar camp taking place for the men starting on June 9th.
