NATIONAL WOMEN'S UNDER 22 TEAM DEFEATS SWITZERLAND TWO STRAIGHT GAMES

Zuchwil, SWITZERLAND -- Canada's National Under 22 team beat Switzerland

Christmas Day in Unna, Germany.

On Saturday, Canada blanked the Swiss team by the score of 5-0, wIth Tania
Pinelli of Hamilton, ON getting the shutout by turning away 7 shots. Canada
had 55 shots on the Swiss goaltender, with goals from Tammy Lee Shewchuk of
Saint-Laurent, QC, Dana Antal of Esterhazy, SK, Corinne Swirsky of Thompson,
MB, Kelly Bˇchard of Sedley, SK and Alison Stewart of Pense, SK. Olympic
silver medalist Jennifer Botterill of Winnipeg, MB added two assists for
Canada.

"It was a tremendous team effort for 60 minutes", said Canada's head coach
Melody Davidson, "we created great pressure in the offensive zone and had
excellent support defensively."

On Sunday, Swirsky had two goals and Caroline Ouellette of Montreal, QC had
three assists to lead Canada to a 6-1 victory over the Swiss.

Olympic silver medalist Hayley Wickenheiser of Calgary, AB opened the
scoring 20 seconds into the second period, and Antal scored ten seconds
later to give Canada a 2-0 lead.

Botterill and Morag McPherson of Carberry, MB also scored for Canada.

"We definitely took the game to the next level tonight", said Canada's
Antal.

"We played a disciplined game, especially with such a physical game as it
was tonight", said Canadian assistant coach Wally Kozak.

Canada's next game is Christmas Day versus Germany, with Canada playing four
games in five days against Switzerland and host Germany.

Canada is using these games to expose young players to the international
game and to further evaluate the talent pool for the high performance teams
and the Women's World Championships which will be held in Finland in March
