A lot has happened this past week for the Northeastern Women’s Hockey team. Firstly, Chloe Desjardins has been named to the Canadian U-22 Development Team. Four goalies, 12 defensemen, and 24 forwards were named to this development team, who will be split “into two teams, which will participate in several practices and intrasquad games, as well as off-ice dryland training, fitness testing and high performance classroom sessions.” Based on all of this, Hockey Canada will then choose 13 players to join the centralized national team for training to prepare for the Sochi Olympics.
Desjardins has been working really hard ever since she took over for Florence Schelling. In some games, she looked a bit worn out, both physically and mentally, but if anything, this experience will strengthen her as she competes against the best female hockey players that Canada has to offer. If Desjardins gets chosen as one of the 13 players, she will most likely be missing the beginning of the college hockey season, meaning that Kelsey O’Sullivan and Sara Foss will be relied on immediately to make an impact in net for the Huskies.

In other news, head coach Dave Flint has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him on through the 2017-2018 season. This is great news for the Husky organization; under Flint’s guidance, the Huskies have won two Beanpots, become Hockey East Regular season Champions in 2012, and two appearances in the Hockey East Championship game. Flint has also done a great job recruiting talented girls in order to build the depth of the team. Highlights include Casey Pickett, Rachel Llanes, Kendall Coyne, and Paige Savage. The upcoming class is no exception, with standouts such as Heather Mottau, Hayley Scamurra, Sara Foss, Hayley Masters, Melissa Haganey and Bella Sinsigalli. The future looks bright for the Huskies as they look to continue their success for the 2013-2014 season.
