After strong showings at USA Hockey's Under-18 Women's National Festival in Lake Placid, N.Y., last week, seven Massachusetts natives made the U.S. women's Under-18 Select roster for the annual U18 Series against Canada.
The U18 Series features three games between Team USA and Team Canada. This year’s series will be held at the Richmond Olympic Oval in Richmond, B.C., from Aug. 12-15.
The U.S. holds a 16-4-5-26 (W-OTW-OTL-L) record in 16 previous meetings with Canada in the event, which is a precursor to the IIHF Under-18 World Championship in January, which the U.S. has won 10 times.
The U18 Series will coincide with the Collegiate Series between Team USA and Canada. Six New Englanders, including five from Massachusetts, made the Collegiate Select roster.
Of the seven locals to make the U18 Select roster, three helped Team USA to a gold medal in the 2026 U18 Women's Worlds, including Lily Bromley (Carlisle, Mass.), Jane Daley (Medfield, Mass.) and Annabelle Lovell (Hingham, Mass.). Daley set the tournament goal-scoring record, leading the way with 12 goals and 17 points in six games en route to an MVP nod.
Here are the U18 Series selections from Massachusetts, listed alphabetically.
