Offseason

[edit]
  • Aug. 31, 2011: Senior goaltender Genevieve Lacasse has completed her first tournament with the Canada’s National women’s ice hockey team. She won two of three games at the 2011 IIHF 12 Nations Tournament. She let in four goals while stopping six shots in a 6-4 loss to Sweden. Earlier in the tournament, she shut out Slovakia. This marked her fourth-consecutive shutout in international competition (dating back to the 2011 MLP Cup when she played with the Canadian Under 22 team).[1]
