The US National team held a pre-camp at Xfinity Arena for a week and took some time out to practice with the all-girls association. The first session was with the Washington Wild 14U, 12U, 10U and 8U teams with National team players Kendall Coyne, Nicole Hensley, Kacey Bellamy, and Megan Bozek.

Players were broken up into groups and worked on various skills with the National players, including a game of tag with Kendall Coyne, known to be the fastest female hockey player in the world and recent NCAA D1 Patty Kazmaier Award winner, which goes to the best collegiate player in the country.

The older group was treated with small scrimmage sessions with some of their favorite stars!
