Four members of the Swift Current Innovation Credit Union Wildcats have been named to the 20-player roster for U18 Female Team Saskatchewan.

Swift Current’s Aurora Van Wormer is one of two goaltenders on Team Saskatchewan. The second-year Wildcat made 29 saves in a shutout performance to open the regular season two weeks ago.

Second-year defenseman Caitlyn Perlinger (Kindersley) has been named to the six-player blueline crew. She has suited up in five league games for the Wildcats since last season.

Newcomer Kiana McNinch (Turtleford) and captain Ava Metzger (Moosomin) are among the 12 forwards this year. McNinch joined the Wildcats this season after playing previously in the Battlefords and Lloydminster. She has one goal and one assist in two league outings this season. Metzger has been held without a point in two league outings this season. She registered five points in as many games with the Wildcats last season and attended the Hockey Canada U18 Summer Showcase Development Camp over the summer.
