The Canadian Women’s Hockey League announced today the 42 players selected to face off in the first-ever CWHL All-Star Game, including nine players who have represented the U.S. as either a member of the Olympic Team, National Team or Under-18 National Team. Those players are Kacey Bellamy, Megan Bozek, Julie Chu, Brianna Decker, Meghan Duggan, Alyssa Gagliardi, Hilary Knight, Kelli Stack and Blake Bolden
The game, which takes place on Dec. 13 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, will feature many of the best female hockey professionals in the world. The day will start with a skills competition, followed by two full periods of hockey. It is a free event that open to the public.
Canadian Women’s Hockey League fans will have the chance to make their voices heard, with an online poll running Nov. 29-Dec.10 on www.CWHL.ca, where they can vote for their favorite player to captain one of the two CWHL All-Star Teams that will face off Dec. 13.
To complete the team selection process, a private draft event will be held Dec. 12 in Toronto, with both captains picking their first five players. Remaining players will be chosen road hockey style, by way of a random stick pull.
