USA Hockey executive director Pat Kelleher announced Wednesday that a national team selection camp will be held at the Super Rink this summer. The team chosen at that camp will stay in Blaine to train together for the Beijing Olympics. Kelleher said the women's program will return to the Super Rink because "the setup there is outstanding," and because the area offers plenty of potential opponents for games.

A locker room and training facility was built for the U.S. women's team at the Super Rink in 2008, and the team trained together in Blaine during the run-up to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Zach Werenski and his U.S. teammates tried not to look ahead at a potential gold-medal game against Canada at the Olympics. After each went unbeaten in group play, there was no way the North American rivals could meet before the final, but there was work left to do.
