ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State senior forward Emma Gentry has been invited to the 2023 USA Hockey Women's National Festival set for August 7-13 at Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, New York.
"We're super excited for Emma and this opportunity to compete at the USA Women's Festival in Lake Placid," said St. Cloud State head coach Brian Idalski, "It is a joy to watch her rewarded for her hard work and commitment to improving as a player."
Bringing together the top American female players from the U18 level to the national team, the Festival will assist in the evaluation process for the 2023-24 U.S. Women's National Team set to compete during the 2023-24 Rivalry Series in November and December, and the selection process for the U18 and Collegiate Women's Select Team rosters for the U18 & Collegiate Series against Canada that will take place August 16-19 in Lake Placid.
Gentry enjoyed a strong junior campaign in 2022-23, skating in 36 games while scoring 13 goals and providing nine assists for 22 points. The center won 229 draws, shared the team lead with 10 even-strength goals and put 116 shots on goal to shoot a strong 11.21%. She was second among her positional group with 25 blocked shots. Across 85 games during her three years at SCSU Gentry has scored 34 goals with 18 assists for 52 points.
She becomes the first Husky to be named to the National Festival since goaltender Emma Polusny participated in the 2019 Festival.
