Two Badgers were announced to the Canadian Under-22 National team Monday afternoon. Brittany Haverstock and Mallory Deluce will be part of the 22 players who will comprise Canada's U22 Team at the 2009 MLP Cup (formerly the Air Canada Cup), January 2-6, 2009 in Ravensburg, Germany.
Canada's roster includes 21 of the 22 players who dressed for Canada in a three-game series against the United States' Women's Under-22 Select Team in Pierrefonds, QC in August. Canada won the final two games of the series after losing the opener in a shootout.
Deluce (London, ON) has been added to the roster for the 2009 MLP Cup. Deluce played for Canada's National Women's Under-22 Team at the 2008 Air Canada Cup, recording one goal and two assists in four games as Canada won the tournament for the sixth year in a row. Deluce is in her sophomore season with the Badgers with five goals and 14 assists this season.
Haverstock is one of four players who won silver with Canada's National Women 's Under-18 Team at the 2008 IIHF World Women's Under-18 Championship. Haverstock, a defenseman from Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia has 12 assists with Wisconsin this season.
The team will depart for Germany on Dec. 27 as it looks for a seventh-consecutive title at the event. Canada will play a pair of games against Switzerland's national women's team, on Dec. 29 and Dec. 31, prior to traveling to Ravensburg for the 2009 MLP Cup.
The Badgers have a few weeks off before returning to the Kohl Center Jan. 2 to play the U.S. Select Team in an exhibition game.
