2nd Team NT 2023 Canada Winter Games ID Camp

Yellowknife, August 22nd, 2022 - The Canada Games Selection Camp for Team Northwest Territories (Team NT) Hockey was held in Yellowknife from August 17-19th, 2022. A total of 35 male and 23 female athletes participated in the trials over three days. Daily sessions included fitness training, evaluations, team bonding, mental health training and a game at the end of each day. 

 

Female Team head coach Kaylee Grant: "I am extremely impressed with the hard work that these female athletes showed this past week. Each of these athletes exceeded my expectations not only on the ice but also during our off-ice team activities. Our coaching staff is excited for the next steps as a team, as we work towards our goals for the 2023 CWG's in PEI."

 

Here are the athletes that will make it to the final selection camp that will be hosted in December between Christmas and New Year. At that time the 20 athletes for Team NT and alternates will be announced.
