NAHA is well represented with current and former players on the roster that have been invited to the 2016 USA Hockey Women's National Festival, which will take place August 8-14, at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, New York.
The festival is an annual training session that will also be used to select two 22-player rosters for a pair of series against Canada held simultaneously from August 17-21 in Calgary, Alberta, at Canada Olympic Park. The U.S. entries will feature an Under-18 Select Team and Under-22 Select Team.
Former NAHA players include Zoe Hickel (Minnesota-Duluth), Amanda Pelkey (UVM) and Annie Pankowski (Wisconsin) who were on the gold medal World Championship Team USA, along with Jenny Ryan (Wisconsin). Delaney Drake, a senior this year at NAHA, is also among the players competing for a spot on the U18 Team.
