The series against the United States will be the first of two competitions for the National Women’s
Under-18 Team during the 2008-09 season. The team will also travel to Füssen, Germany for the 2009 IIHF World
Women’s Under-18 Championship from January 5-10, 2009. Canada claimed the silver medal at the inaugural
women’s U18 world championship in Calgary last January.

December.
The National Women’s Under-18 Team is the first step in Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence, which also
includes the National Women’s Under-22 Team and the National Women’s Team.
