The team spent the past week together in Niagara Falls, Ont., for training camp, culminating in a 3-1 exhibition victory over Finland on Saturday. Canada's first game is Wednesday against Switzerland at 7 p.m. ET. Cheverie said the coaching staff is constantly challenging the team both and off the ice, a tack that works even better when the group, which features just one player making her senior-team debut at a major tournament in forward Danielle Serdachny, is as close as it is.
"It's gonna be fun to get a chance to play in front of them, especially at such a great stage and great venue," Thompson said.
