As Canada works on finalizing its Olympic roster, coach Troy Ryan said, "we'll be taking 25 right now to the Rivalry Series, but with the intention of dressing 23 per game." The practices in Montreal have seen small groups break off to work on skills but are not an sign yet of who's on the bubble.

Which side won the first "battle of the expansion teams?" Are you a fan of the Vancouver blue/copper or the Seattle teals? Note that both have 'cream' colored away jerseys - making three of the eight PWHL teams who rock that instead of white. #pwhl

Which expansion team won the jersey battle? I think Seattle is the clear winner. Clean and more in line with the tone of their main color. I am warming up to the copper orange on the Vancouver sweater, but I just think it wasn't necessary. There's a lot of orange and gold added to PWHL core colors.

After Canada's training in Toronto, Troy Ryan mentioned players are still on the team's radar as the PWHL season starts. He spoke about players like Jamie Lee Rattray, Ashton Bell, and Jaime Bourbonnais as examples of those who are still on the radar of Canada's management.

"People will always remember how you made them feel," are words that stuck with Marie-Philip Poulin as she took on a leadership role with Canada. She still lives by that philosophy making sure new players feel welcome, even reporters like me get a handshake and a 'thank you.' #special

Get ready to watch a bonafide superstar in the making... Chloe Primerano is with Team Canada training for the Olympics, and of the ten defenders skating, she is in the top five already. And she's only 18.

I think she’s right there in
the mix. If she can win faceoffs, I see her on the team.

Some interesting takeaways from today's Team Canada intra-squad scrimmage: Daryl Watts played with Poulin and Stacey. Natalie Spooner lined up with Sarah Nurse and Sarah Fillier, and connected on a long breakaway pass from Claire Thompson, scoring on a backhand.
