Tegan Schroeder (Lumsden, Saskatchewan), an incoming recruit for the Wayne State University women's hockey program, has been selected by Hockey Canada to compete in one of the two Regional Conditioning Camps in preparation for the 2007 World Women's Championship and the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Schroeder is one of 12 defensemen with birth years between 1986 and 1990 attending the Calgary, Alberta camp. The other regional camp will take place in Kitchener, Ontario. Both camps run from June 10-18. All the blueliners participating in the Kitchener camp were born between 1980 and 1985.

A 5'5" defenseman, Schroeder played two years of varsity hockey for the Hounds of Athol Murray College of Notre Dame, where she helped the team win two Saskatchewan Provincial Female Midget AA Championships as well as two Western Canadian Shield Female Midget Championships. Schroeder was named the team's best defenseman in 2005 and 2006.

She was also a member of the Team Saskatchewan U-18 squad and competed at nationals in Salmon Arm, B.C., the last two seasons.

A total of 72 of Canada's top women's hockey players will be participating at the camps which run simultaneously from June 10-18 in Calgary, Alberta, and Kitchener, Ontario.
