July 21, 2016 | Women's Ice Hockey
CALGARY, Alta. - Four members of the Boston University women's ice hockey team were invited to Hockey Canada's National Women's Development Team selection camp, as announced on Wednesday.
Rising juniors Victoria Bach, Rebecca Leslie and Savannah Newton will join incoming freshman Alexandra Calderone on the 42-player roster. That group will be split into two teams, Red and White, and participate in several practices and intrasquad games, as well as off-ice dryland training, fitness testing, and classroom sessions during the camp that will take place Aug. 5-14 in Calgary.
The Terrier quartet are aiming to be part of the 23-player squad that will be selected to play for Canada's National Women's Development Team in a three-game series against the United States, Aug. 17-20 in Calgary. BU leads all Hockey East schools and is tied for second among all NCAA institutions with four players that were invited to the camp.
Bach, Leslie and Newton all enjoyed career years in 2015-16. Bach was a Second Team Hockey East All-Star after a second straight 20-goal season. The Milton, Ontario, native totaled career highs in goals (22), assists (26) and points (48) in 39 games. Leslie was also a Second Team Hockey East All-Star after recording career highs in points (49), goals (15) and assists (34). She led the Terriers in points and also led the nation with eight shorthanded points and five shorthanded goals.
Newton was the team's Most Improved Player this past season. In 38 games she recorded a career-high six assists and was a plus-7. Newton was a plus-9 in league play. Calderone will arrive at BU after two seasons at Dawson College, where she was an RSEQ First Team All-Star after she led all defensemen in scoring with 16 points in 22 games.
