The four-team Women’s World Challenge includes the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, and Team World, comprised of players from Asia, Europe, and North America. After the round-robin preliminary round, teams will be seeded for the championship and third-place games on Sept. 3. 

“The team is excited to compete,” said Kevin Erlenbach (Waterman, Ill.), general manager of the U.S. Women’s Development Sled Hockey Team. “The players have worked hard to get here and look forward to showcasing sled hockey to the fans in Green Bay.”
