TIME FOR TESTING

The U.S. Under-18 Women's National Team arrived in Los Angeles today and began training for the 2019 International Ice Hockey Federation Under-18 Women's World Championship.

The team underwent a collection of tests, both on and off the ice. Some of the off-ice tests included the vertical jump, bench press, chin-ups and more.

After completing off-ice testing and getting loose in the gym, the Under-18 squad took to the ice and participated in several skating tests before working on some flow drills to close out the practice.

HEADED TO STAPLES

The Under-18 Women's National Team will skate twice tomorrow at Toyota Sports Center in Los Angeles, but will get a break in the middle of the day to take in a game at Staples Center between the Los Angeles Kings and the Vegas Golden Knights. On Sunday, the U.S. will play a scrimmage game at 6 p.m. PT. All practices and scrimmages during camp are free and open to the public.
