Eagles’ sophomore is one of six NCAA goalies called in for the 18-player camp in May
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Boston College sophomore Katie Burt has been called in for USA Hockey's 2016 U.S. Women's National Team Goaltending Camp, which will be held May 12-15 at Schwan's Super Center in Blaine, Minn. This is the second straight season Burt will participate in the national team's goaltending camp.
The Lynn, Mass., product is one of six goaltenders who played college hockey in the 2015-16 season who are set to attend the 2016 camp. The list also includes two of the three goaltenders who represented the U.S. and won gold at the 2016 IIHF Women's World Championships and both goaltenders who were members of the U.S.' gold-medal winning team at the 2016 IIHF Under-18 World Championships.
The camp - now in its second season - consists of the nation's top 18 goaltenders eligible for international play. The participants range in age from 15 to 24 and represent 14 different states. Robb Stauber, goaltending coach for the U.S. Women's National Team, is the camp's head instructor and will be assisted by goaltending coaches Manon Rheaume and Steve Guider. The goaltenders will participate in five on-ice sessions between Friday, May 13 and Sunday, May 15.
Burt was last called into U.S. National Team camp in December when she was one of five goaltenders who participated in the Women's Winter Training Camp.
This past season at Boston College, Burt ranked third in the nation - and first in Hockey East - in goals against average (1.23). She was third nationally in shutouts (13) and fourth in save percentage (.943), both of which led the conference. Burt's 35 wins - as part of a 35-1-0 record - led the nation, as did her .972 winning percentage.
After just two collegiate seasons, Burt is the Eagles' career leader in most goaltending categories, including save percentage (.942), GAA (1.17) and shutouts (23). She ranks third in wins (65) and sixth in saves (1,326).
Burt is also a two-time member of the U.S. Under-18 team, winning a silver medal at the 2014 IIHF World Under-18 championships before backing the team to the gold medal at the 2015 event.
The Eagles, who wrapped up the 2015-16 season with a 40-1-0 record, finished the year with their best-ever final ranking of No. 2 in both the U.S. College Hockey Online and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls. The team's 40 wins were the second-most in a season in NCAA history. In 2016-17, the Eagles are set to return 17 players from this year's team and will add seven freshmen to the roster.
