Goaltender Annika Neufeldt (Waldheim) and forward Kolbee Ashe (Warman), who both starred with the Warman U15AA Female Wildcats this past season were among the Top 34 players selected at the recent Hockey Sask U16 female tournament held in Regina on April 1-3.
They will now become part of the two Sask First development squads that will participate in a Summer Camp in Regina July 31-August 1 and Showcase Tournament in Swift Current September 8-11.
The Female Sask First High Performance Program begins every February with regional camps held across the province and are open to all players in the U16 category. From there, the top players were invited to play in the Sask First Tournament held in Regina where the top 34 players were chosen to attend the upcoming summer/fall camp.
The process ensures all players not only have the opportunity to compete with their peers, but receive significant exposure as all Sask First events are highly attended by scouts from a variety of elite leagues
