Hill-Murray girls hockey standout Hannah Brandt has been selected to train with the U.S. Olympic women's hockey team Dec. 26-31 at the National Sports Center in Blaine.

Brandt, a senior, is the only high school player to be invited to the camp that will be training for the 2012 World Championships in Burlington, Vt.

"I am excited, but it can be intimidating playing with all of those girls," said Brandt, a Gophers recruit.

Brandt will miss at least the first two games Hill-Murray will play in the Kaposia Classic at South St. Paul over the holiday break.

"Hannah is a special player," Pioneers coach Bill Schaffhauser said. "She has a chance to be one of the best players ever."
