Team Sweden is in the US having a camp at Bowdoin College in Maine prior to the 4 Nations Tournament that will be held in Newfoundland.
As part of their preparation they will play the NAHA White Team in a scrimmage on November 3, 2pm, Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington MA. This is quite a privilege for the NAHA players, as the only other scrimmage Team Sweden will participate in will be against Team USA prior to the 4 Nations event. The girls will have the opportunity to play against top Swedes who are attending college in the US and many Swedish Olympians.
NAHA White opened the JWHL season Friday Oct 8 in Boston with a pair of games.
First off was the MN Thoroughbreds, a good skating, fast team with whom White had great games last season. Both teams are early in their seasons, and the play was up and down, and fast. The final score was 1-0 White.
The evening game at BU was against the Edge School from Calgary Alberta. The girls had a pregame visit from former NAHA players, and current BU Terriers, Taylor Holze, Jill Cardella and Kasey Boucher. White took the game 6-1 for a successful opening day for this season!
The JWHL Playoffs for the Major Junior Division have been selected for the 2010-2011 season. The University of Wisconsin will be the host site, and the dates are March 11-13, 2011. It's the goal of the JWHL to have their weekends set on as many college campuses as possible, and this venue is a great fit. Many thanks to the UW coaching staff and administrator Paul Hickman for their help! The JWHL 2010-2011 schedule will be posted soon.
