Hockey Canada has announced the roster for the upcoming 4 Nations Cup, held this year on home ice in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and the two GTA CWHL teams are well represented.
Unsurprisingly, all of the Canadian Olympians on the GTA teams—Natalie Spooner, Sarah Nurse, Renata Fast, Laura Stacey, Laura Fortino, and Jocelyne Larocque—are present on the roster. Spooner, Fortino, and Larocque are senior team veterans; Larocque will actually be the oldest skater on the team, and the second-oldest player after goalie Shannon Szabados. The other three players, while younger, have all been to the 4 Nations Cup multiple times (this will be Fast’s fourth, and Nurse and Stacey’s third).
