USA Hockey continues to help advance women's hockey as highlighted by the inaugural U.S. Women's National Team Goaltending Development Camp starting today at Schwan's Super Center in Blaine, Minnesota with off-ice testing.

The camp consists of 18 of the top female goaltenders who are eligible for international play, with players ranging in age from 16-29, including two-time Olympian Jessie Vetter.

"This camp serves as an exciting new platform to bolster our national goalie development, training, and scouting for our female goaltenders," said Reagan Carey, USA Hockey's director of women's hockey. "Never before have 18 of our nations elite goalies had the opportunity to train and compete together at the same camp. It’s a rare opportunity for a 16-year old goalie to train and compete alongside a veteran Olympic level goalie. We look forward to all the benefits of that integrated training environment.”

A female-specific camp showcases the growth of women's hockey and is the natural evolution of the program, allowing more goaltenders to participate and the introduction of a curriculum that is specific to the women's game. In past years, female goalies have conducted their summer training with the top male goalies in the U.S.

Carey added, “For the last six years we have benefited from the integration of our nations top female goaltenders training with their male counterparts during the Warren Strelow National Goaltending Mentor Program. Our objective is to utilize this new camp to not only develop our top 18 female goalies in the nation, but to also activate more synergy in our coaching philosophies and standards that can be leveraged at all levels (affiliate, district and national).”  

Robb Stauber, goaltending coach for the U.S. Women's National Team, is the head instructor for the camp, which runs until Sunday .

HEINOLA, Finland  - The U.S. Women’s National U18 Team dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to Canada here today in the gold-medal game of the 2013 International Ice Hockey Federation U18 Women’s World Championship.

“I thought we had 22 leaders and 22 followers on our team,” said Jeff Kampersal, head coach of Team USA. “They came together really quickly. They’re incredible kids and players and they gave their heart and soul in this game. I’m proud of our team and I can’t speak highly enough about the character of these girls.”

The U.S. outshot Canada by a 20-1 count in the opening period and put one goal on the board. That came off the stick of Jenny Ryan (Victor, N.Y.) at 18:04 when her blast from the point hit a Canadian player in front of the net and deflected in.

The teams combined for 19 shots on goal in a scoreless second period. U.S. goaltender Sidney Peters (Geneva, Ill.) made 10 stops in the period, including one from point-blank range and several others on goal-mouth scrambles.

After several close chances for both teams in the third period, Canada knotted the game with 13 seconds remaining with an extra attacker to send the game into overtime. Canada then scored just :58 into overtime to gain the victory.

The U.S. finished the tournament with a 4-0-1-0 (W-OTW-OTL-L) record and outscored its opponents, 36-2.  In six years of the IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship, Team USA has captured three gold medals (2008, 2009, and 2011) and three silver medals (2010, 2012, and 2013).

NOTES: Goaltender Sidney Peters was named the U.S. Player of the Game with 23 saves … The U.S. outshot Canada, 40-25 … Katherine Schipper  (Brooklyn Park, Minn) was named the tournament’s best forward by the directorate as well as most valuable player and best forward by the media … Schipper, Jincy Dunne (O’Fallon, Mo.), and Danielle Cameranesi (Plymouth, Minn.) were named the Team USA’s three best players of the tournament … Final stats from today’s game can be viewed below.
