CALGARY, ALBERTA – Team Canada is preparing for the upcoming 2004 Four Nations Cup in Lake Placid, NY/Burlington, VT from November 10-14, 2004.

Team Canada will gather in Montreal, QC on November 7, and play an exhibition game in Sherbrooke, QC on Monday November 8 at the Palais de Sport at 7:30pm versus Team Finland (free admission) in preparation for the Four Nations Cup. On Tuesday, November 9 the team will then travel to Lake Placid, NY for the opening game of the event.

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.

During the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons, Canada will name different rosters for camps and events.
