Neepawa blue-liner Krzyzaniak off to Slovakia

Neepawa defenceman Halli Krzyzaniak is the only Manitoban among 16 players selected by Hockey Canada's National Women's Program to travel to Bratislava, Slovakia July 4-12 and participate in the 2011 IIHF High Performance Women's Camp. The camp will feature coaches and players from 17 different countries to help grow the female game worldwide.

The camp is just one of several initiatives taking place over the next five years as part of the International Ice Hockey Federation's commitment to narrowing the hockey gap between North American females and the rest of the world.
