Fresh off a Women’s World Championship title, the U.S. Women’s National Team roster has been set for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

The 2017-18 season is a big one, of course, with the women set to compete in the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

Today, the USWNT roster was revealed live on NHL Network.

Megan Keller, fresh off winning gold 10 minutes away from her childhood home in Farmington, returns to the USWNT roster as the lone Michigan native.

Twenty-one of the 23 players selected were on Team USA’s roster for the 2017 IIHF Women’s World Championship in Plymouth. The two new players are forwards Dani Cameranesi (Plymouth, Minn./University of Minnesota) and Annie Pankowski (Laguna Hills, Calif./University of Wisconsin).

USA Hockey also announced that starting in September, the Women’s National Team will live and train in Tampa at the Florida Hospital Center Ice in preparation for the 2018 Games.
