"This is an excellent opportunity for Beth, to be recognized by the Hockey Canada staff for her achievements with our team and to give her an opportunity to take part in a camp of this nature is incredible," said Brock head coach Todd Erskine. "There are so many great goaltenders that Hockey Canada can choose from and Beth I know is looking forward to being among the best at her position."
