CALGARY, ALBERTA – Team Canada is preparing for the upcoming 2004 Four Nations Cup in Lake Placid,

Team Canada will gather in Montreal, QC on November 7, and play an exhibition game in Sherbrooke, QC on

the Four Nations Cup. On Tuesday, November 9 the team will then travel to Lake Placid, NY for the opening

Canada’s National Women’s Team roster assembled for the Four Nations Cup, previously announced on Oct. 20,
2004, is a development and evaluation roster, and represents the first step in an ongoing evaluation process
leading towards the 2005 IIHF World Women’s Hockey Championship in Linkoping, Sweden and the 2006 Winter
Olympics in Turin, Italy. Canada’s roster will continue to change over the next few months, as part of the
evaluation process.

World Championship roster.
