Story summary

Hockey Canada removed Sarah Nurse, a veteran forward and three-time Olympian, from the Canadian women’s hockey team selection camp roster on November 2 due to unforeseen circumstances. The replacement player is Alexia Aubin, a college student from Lévis, Quebec, who plays for Colgate University. Initially, Hockey Canada did not provide a reason for Nurse's removal but later clarified that she was unable to attend the camp rather than declining the invitation as first reported. The change occurred on the first day of the seven-day selection camp in Quebec City, where 42 players are competing for spots on Canada’s world championship team, which will consist of 25 players. The 2024 women's world championship is scheduled to take place from November 6 to 16 in Esbjerg and Herning, Denmark.
