Complete Roster
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Northeastern women's ice hockey forwards
Kendall Coyne and
Paige Savage were two of 41 players invited to the U.S. Women's National Team Selection Camp that will take place at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid, N.Y., June 16-23.
The camp, which will consist of daily practices, off-ice testing, and three intrasquad scrimmages, will be used to determine the U.S. Women's National Team roster that will train together and participate in various competitions in the build-up to the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
USA Hockey will unveil the players selected to the U.S. Women's National Team on June 24 and that group will continue to train in Lake Placid until June 27.
The final 21-player U.S. Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Team roster is expected to be announced in late December 2013.
Coyne rewrote the Northeastern record book during the 2012-13 season, leading the Huskies with 68 points (37 goals, 31 assists) and becoming the first Husky since 1988 to record at least 65 points in a season en route to AHCA/CCM Second Team All-American honors. Coyne was also named a Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award top-ten finalist on Feb. 28 and a Hockey East First Team All-Star on Mar. 8.
Coyne is the first Husky in 13 years to record at least 45 points in back-to-back seasons (Hillary Witt in 1998-99 and 1999-00), and is the first NU player since 2002 to post at least 25 goals in consecutive seasons (Brooke Whitney in 2000-01 and 2001-02). Coyne, along with Boston College's Alex Carpenter, shattered the league record for conference points in a season, previously held by Sadie Wright Ward in 2005-06.
The Palos Heights, Ill. native finished the season on a career-long 16-game point streak (21 goals, 16 assists), including 12 multi-point games, six multi-goal games and two hat tricks. A seven-time Athletic Republic Player of the Week honoree, Coyne became the 22nd player in program history to record 100 career points, and only the third to accomplish the feat in less than two seasons with the team.
Savage concluded her rookie season on Huntington Ave. with nine goals and 14 assists in 33 games played. She was a two-time Pro Ambitions Player of the Week and was also named the Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Month in February. The Johns Creek, Ga. native was tied for 17th in the nation in points per game among rookies (0.70), as well as sixth in Hockey East in freshman scoring. Savage had her biggest game of the season on Jan. 4 at No. 2 Clarkson when she played a factor in all four NU goals (one goal, three assists), helping the Huskies erase a two-goal third period deficit in a 4-3 victory.
Northeastern finished the 2012-13 season with a 23-11-2 record, including the program's 16th Beanpot championship and second appearance in the Hockey East title game in the last three years.
