COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – As the 2019 USA Hockey Women's Winter Training Camp gets underway this week, Dec. 9-13 at the XL Center in Hartford, Conn, two current Eagles and five recent graduates are among the 46 players participating.

Current Eagles Cayla Barnes and Kelly Browne join Katie Burt '18, Alex Carpenter '16, Kali Flanagan '19, Megan Keller '19, and Emily Matheson '15 at the camp. Hannah Bilka and Hadley Hartmetz were invited but are unable to participate.

From the pool of players, 23 will be selected to the U.S. Women's National Team that will face Canada in the first two games of the 2019-20 Rivalry Series, including games on Dec. 14 at the XL Center and Dec. 17 in Moncton, New Brunswick. The annual winter training camp serves as an opportunity to help the top players prepare for upcoming international events, including the 2019-20 Rivalry Series and the 2020 IIHF Women's World Championship. The Rivalry Series includes five games. In addition to the opening two games in December, the U.S. and Canada will also meet on Feb. 3 in Victoria, British Columbia, Feb. 5 in Vancouver, British Columbia and Feb. 8 in Anaheim, Calif.

Barnes, Keller, Flanagan, Matheson, Carpenter and Burt all attended the November Training Camp while eight participated in the 2019 USA Hockey Women's National Festival this past August. Additionally, Barnes, Bilka and Hartmetz were named to the U.S. Under-22 Team following that camp. Of the 46 athletes invited to the training camp, 21 are active NCAA players, while 25 are postgraduates. Hartmetz and Bilka join Minnesota's Madeline Wethington as the only first-year collegiate players invited to the camp.
