Women’s Division I College Hockey: 2023 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championships player commitments

ÖSTERSUND, Sweden – The 2023 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championships begins Sunday. At press time, 41 of the 46 women on the US and Canadian rosters have already announced their commitment to play NCAA DI women’s hockey. Four players (G Layla Hemp, D Megan Healy, F Bella Fanale for US, F Éloïse Caron on Canada) are as yet undecided and one Canadian player, Abby Lunney, will be playing USports in Canada (Nipissing).

Particularly with the 2022 version of this tournament happening in Madison in June, I expect that we’ll see commitments from players on the European squads announced in the future. In the meantime, here are the players and where they are committed to further their education and play hockey.
