MINNEAPOLIS - Current Gopher Sarah Potomak will join four Minnesota alumni in representing their respective countries at the upcoming Four Nations Cup. Potomak and former Gopher Sarah Davis will represent Canada, while alumni Megan Bozek, Gigi Marvin and Anne Schleper will skate for the U.S. at the upcoming tournament.
The 20th annual 4 Nations Cup will bring together four of the world's top women's hockey countries - Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the United States. The tournament is scheduled for Nov. 4-8 at the Sundsvall Energi Arena in Sundsvall, Sweden.
Preliminary games are scheduled for Nov. 4-7 with both the bronze and gold-medal games set to be played on Nov. 8.
Potomak is one of five players who will make their debut with Canada's National Women's Team at the 2015 Four Nations Cup; she is also one of seven players who were a part of Canada's National Women's Development Team for the three-game series against the U.S. in August 2015 in Lake Placid, N.Y.
Meanwhile, Davis will skate for Canada after earning silver with Canada's National Women's Team at the 2015 IIHF Ice Hockey Women's World Championship in Malmö, Sweden.
On the U.S. Women's National Team, Schleper is one of 13 members of the gold medal-winning 2015 IIHF Women's World Championship representing the U.S. at the Four Nations Cup. Bozek and Marvin both competed for the U.S. at the 2014 Four Nations Cup.
