Six players competing for an NCAA Division I Women’s Ice Hockey Championship in Lake Placid, NY, this weekend — including four from the #1 seeded University of Wisconsin — have been honored as RBK HOCKEY ALL-AMERICANS for 2006-07. In addition to the Badgers, NCAA semifinalist St. Lawrence had a pair of honorees. It is an experienced squad with seven seniors among the 12 honorees.

Noteworthy among the selections:

• Only two players come from the United States. Ten come from Canada.

• Five players had been recognized before.

• There were seven seniors chosen, three juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman.

• Five selections came from both the WCHA and the ECACHL. The CHA had the remaining two.

The RBK ALL-AMERICAN ICE HOCKEY TEAMS are sponsored by RBK HOCKEY, an international leader in hockey equipment, and chosen by members of the AMERICAN HOCKEY COACHES ASSOCIATION.
