CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College senior forward and assistant captain Kristyn Capizzano has been called in for Hockey Canada's National Women's Developmental Team Summer Showcase, which will be held August 5-21, in Calgary, Alberta.
Â
Capizzano is one of 42 players called in to the camp, which includes 35 players who will play collegiately in the U.S. this season. Camp participants will be vying for a place on the 23-player roster that will face the U.S. Under-22 Select Team in a three-game series, August 17-20, in Calgary.
Â
The selection camp will also include Sweden's national women's team, and a select team of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) players who will be aiming to represent Canada at the 2017 Winter Universiade in Almaty, Kazakhstan, in January.
Â
Capizzano attended Canada's 2014 and 2015 Development Team camps. She also attended Canada's summer strength and conditioning camp in May.
Capizzano was a member of the gold-medal winning Canada squad at the 2015 Nations Cup, which was played Jan. 3-6, 2015 in Fussen, Germany. Capizzano scored one a goal, coming against Sweden in the gold medal game. Capizzano is also a two-time gold medalist at the IIHF U18 World Championships (2012, 2013), captaining the team in 2013.
Entering her final year at BC in 2016-17, Capizzano has made 116 career appearances for the Eagles, scoring 78 points from 31 goals and 47 assists. She posted her best season to date last year, recording a career-high 30 points from 9 goals and a personal-best 21 assists. She enters the season ranked 24th on the Eagles' career scoring list.
The Eagles, who wrapped up the 2015-16 season with a 40-1-0 record, finished the year with their best-ever final ranking of No. 2 in both the U.S. College Hockey Online and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls. The team's 40 wins were the second-most in a season in NCAA history. In 2016-17, the Eagles are set to return 17 players from this year's team and will add seven freshmen to the roster.
