“This is a high-potential young squad blending high school athletes, first-year collegiate players, and experienced returners,” said Ange Bradley, U-21 USWNT Head Coach. “Many are stepping into a new level of speed, physicality, and intensity. Our environment will challenge them to take ownership of their development, raise their standards, and accelerate their growth as we prepare to qualify for the 2027 Junior World Cup.”

Current Cavaliers including Mary Adams, Bella Moore, Caroline Raynes, Riley Savage, and Lauren Sloan were named to the roster as well as incoming talent Caitlin Connell.

Also selected to represent Team USA was Virginia practice player, Charlie Webb. 

Following evaluations at four training camps, Webb was named to the 18-athlete roster by U.S. U21 Men’s National Team Head Coach Paul Singh to compete in the men’s 2026 Junior Pan American Championship (JPAC).

"We are very excited for this team that is heading to the Junior Pan American Championship," said Singh. “A lot has been done in our last few training camps and we as a staff feel we a have a great blend of boys who are currently experienced with the U.S. Men's National Team and then also some coming up within the pathway. We are looking forward to playing some great hockey and experiencing some of the best in the Pan American region. Our ultimate goal is to qualify for the Junior World Cup in 2027.”
