Hockey Canada's National Women’s Pre-Worlds Camp begins July 25th.

Three goaltenders, nine defencemen and 16 forwards will centralize in Calgary.

Three Manitobans are on the 28-player roster and they include defensemen Jocelyne Larocque of Ste. Anne & Aston Bell of Deloraine and goaltender Kristen Campbell of Brandon,

All players and staff will relocate to Calgary at the end of July for centralization and prepare for the 2021 IIHF Women’s World Championship, which will be held August 20th-31st in Calgary, before resuming their Olympic training. The 2021-22 season, pending the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, will include games against the United States as well as a potential series against Finland.

Canada’s final 23-player roster for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games is tentatively scheduled to be unveiled in late December.
