The remaining 11 players who will not participate in the Four Nations Cup include four Olympians and seven members of the 2010 U.S. Women's Under-18 Select Team.
Eleven camp participants were members of the U.S. Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Team at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, including goaltenders Brianne McLaughlin (Sheffield Village, Ohio) and Jessie Vetter (Cottage Grove, Wis.); defensemen Kacey Bellamy (Westfield, Mass.), Caitlin Cahow (Branford, Conn.), Molly Engstrom (Siren, Wis.) and Angela Ruggiero (Simi Valley, Calif.); and forwards Julie Chu (Fairfield, Conn.), Gigi Marvin (Warroad, Minn.), Erika Lawler (Fitchburg, Mass.), Jenny Potter (Edina, Minn.) and Jinelle Zaugg-Siergiej (Eagle River, Wis.).

SAN FRANCISCO -- Lost in the revelry of the Giants' World Series triumph Monday night was a confession Bruce Bochy made.
"Last night, I didn't sleep, to be honest," Bochy said in his postgame media briefing. "You're on the verge, and you know how close you are, and you put this on such a pinnacle that you get butterflies."
Fortunately for the Giants, Bochy's typically much calmer. His steadying influence, along with his managerial acumen, furthered the Giants' successful bid for their first Series title in San Francisco history.
