With the Women’s World Championship just a week away, episode five of Defending Their Ice, showcases how the team is selected to represent Team USA on the international stage. With 36 players invited to selection camp, the coaching staff opens the doors to the deliberation room as they make tough decisions on who will ultimately be the 25 players selected to the U.S. Women’s National Team. For some, it will be the culmination of years of hard work, finally getting that call to wear the red, white and blue, but for others it will be heartbreak.

Defending Their Ice: The Story of the U.S. Women’s National Team is a trailblazing six-episode docuseries produced by USA Hockey and Righthand. The series showcases the journey of the U.S. Women’s National Ice Hockey Team, including players like Hilary Knight, Kendall Coyne Schofield, Taylor Heise, Megan Keller, Caroline Harvey and Laila Edwards, on the road to the 2024 IIHF Women’s World Championship and offers a behind-the-curtain look at Team USA throughout the entirety of the 2023-24 season, starting from puck drop on game one of the Rivalry Series all the way to the final whistle of the Women’s World Championship gold medal game.
