Richmond will be well-represented on the Female U18 B.C. hockey team with three players named to the final roster.
Returning players Jodi Gentile and Leah Lum have been joined by goaltender Kylle Styles. The trio were selected based on season long evaluations and their performance at the recent U18 Provincial Camp in Lake Cowichan. These girls will be representing the province at the National Women's U18 Championship in Calgary - Nov. 6-10.
The next step for the team is a weekend summer training camp where they will begin to work on team concepts, training and other preparations. The camp is designed from the national team program and focuses on developing the player's strength, conditioning, fitness and nutrition.
Styles, 16, played this past season for the Richmond-based Pacific Ravens of the B.C. Female Midget AAA Hockey League. She will be joined in the crease by Victoria's Morgan Skinner and Valencia Yordanov of Port Coquitlam.
Gentile, 16, was a key member on the blueline for the two-time defending champion Fraser Valley Phantom, while Lum had a key role in helping the Richmond Ravens repeat as Midget AA provincial champions.
