MINNEAPOLIS -- Amanda Leveille is one of 15 goaltenders who have been invited to attend Canada's National Women's Program goaltending camp, taking place June 4-7 in Calgary, Alberta, Hockey Canada announced today.
The list of invitees includes eight National Women's Under-18 Team goaltenders, six National Women's Development Team netminders, along with one National Women's Team goalie, who will work with several highly-skilled instructors, both on and off the ice, during the four-day camp.
Leveille wrapped up her junior year with the Gophers in 2014-15 as an All-USCHO Third Team and NCAA All-Tournament Team honoree. She recorded a 28-3-3 record to rank second in the NCAA with a .868 winning percentage. Leveille also ranked second in the nation with a .946 save percentage and was third among NCAA goaltenders with a 1.18 goals against average.
"We're looking forward to hosting our country's top young female goaltenders in Calgary," said Melody Davidson, Hockey Canada's general manager of national women's team programs. "This is a great opportunity for the players to learn from some of the best women's high performance goaltending coaches in Canada, and it will serve as a final step prior to invitations to our summer camps this August."
The camp is scheduled to begin Thursday at the Markin MacPhail Centre at WinSport's Canada Olympic Park in Calgary. All on-ice sessions are open to the public and media.
