Minnesota Duluth assistant coach Laura Schuler on Tuesday was named head coach of the Canada Under-18 team that will compete at the 2014 International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships.
Schuler has spent the past five seasons with the Bulldogs. She's coached in the Team Canada system the past four seasons.
Forty players have been invited to the Aug. 10-18 under-18 selection camp, and the top 22 will comprise the Canadians' roster for a three-game series against the United States in August, as well as the world championships.
