Now, eight more New Englanders will be joining them in Lake Placid. The U18 festival will feature the best prospects in the nation, vying to make a strong impression and earn a spot on the Under-18 Select roster when Team USA takes on Canada the following week.
The U18 festival runs in conjunction with the Women's Over-18 festival. That will feature 12 New Englanders, gunning for a spot on the Collegiate Select roster, which will also face Canada the following week in a three-game series.
