CALGARY, Alta. - Juniors Victoria Bach and Rebecca Leslie will join five former Boston University women's ice hockey players at Hockey Canada's National Women's Team Fall Festival, which will take place Sept. 11-18 in Calgary.
Bach and Leslie are part of a 44-player squad that includes Olympic gold medalists Marie-Philip Poulin, Jenn Wakefield and Tara Watchorn. Former Terriers Jenelle Kohanchuk and Sarah Lefort were also part of the elite group of skaters chosen to take part in the festival. While there, the playerrs will take to the ice on two teams, Red and White, over the seven-day camp that will feature eight games along with practices.
