The 2002-2003 National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) season is quickly approaching, and the Vancouver Griffins are getting ready to drop the puck on a landmark year in women’s hockey in Canada. Training camp for the Griffins starts Wednesday, August 28th at Burnaby 8 Rinks in Burnaby, British Columbia. A total of 53 players will vie for a spot on the Griffins' roster. Players will go through three days of intensive training and evaluation, then camp will wrap up with a showcase intrasquad game on Saturday, August 31st beginning at 10:15 a.m. on Blue A. Among those in attendance will be Canadian national team veteran NANCY DROLET, along with two of the newest Griffins, U.S. national team Captain CAMMI GRANATO, and her team-mate on the U.S. national squad, SHELLEY LOONEY.
