CALGARY, Alberta –Kira Juodikis (LaSalle, Ontario), an incoming freshman on the University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team, has been invited to participate in the BFL National Women's Under-18 Team Summer Development Camp held July 29 to Aug. 5 at WinSport's Canada Olympic Park.
The announcement of the 23 NextGen athletes (born in 2003) was made Wednesday by Hockey Canada.
Juodikis, a 5-11 forward, is a 2021 graduate of Sandwich Secondary School, where she competed in hockey, basketball, volleyball, soccer, badminton and track & field. She made the city all-star hockey team and senior city all-star basketball team as a sophomore. Juodikis was a city all-star team selection in hockey, basketball and soccer as a freshman, when she also garnered the team MVP award in hockey, basketball, soccer and track and field.
Sports were paused in Ontario in the 2020-21 season, but Juodikis led the Team Ontario Red team to a gold medal at the National Championship in 2019-20, and she was named Game MVP in the win against Alberta. Juodikis won the Windsor Essex Sports Person of the Year Female Hockey Award and was one of three finalists for the Female Athlete of the Year.
In the 2018-19 season, Juodikis was part of a Hockey Canada team that traveled to Japan to play the U15 Japan National Team. Prior to that, she skated on team Green at the London Ontario Summer Games in 2017-18.
Juodikis also played for club for the Southwest Wildcats Jr. hockey team, which is coached by former UNH Wildcats Jen and Jess Hitchcock.
In the classroom, Juodikis made the Honour Roll every year and received a chancellor scholarship for UNH.
The NextGen roster is comprised of three goaltenders, seven defense and 13 forwards, and it represents a group of athletes who attended Canada's National Women's Under-18 virtual summer camp last season, but were unable to participate in on-ice activities because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Juodikis and the rest of the NextGen players will practice and play games against both U18 camp teams.
