The Canadian Women's national hockey team will get their road to Beijing underway next month when they take on teams from the BCHL in a pair of exhibition games.

They'll first take on the Trail Smoke Eaters on Monday, October 4th, then the next night they'll face the Cranbrook Bucks. Both games can be livestreamed on HockeyTV.

"We are extremely excited to get our centralization schedule started and play against teams from the BCHL to aid in our preparation for the Olympic Winter Games," said Gina Kingsbury, director of hockey operations with Hockey Canada. "We are grateful to both Trail and Cranbrook for their willingness to be part of our training as we start our season. The level of competition we expect to face is crucial in our journey and we look forward to showcasing our athletes to hockey fans in both communities."

More of Canada's pre-Olympic schedule will be released in the coming weeks. Once they get to Beijing in February, they'll be in a group with the United States, Finland, the Russian Olympic Committee and Switzerland.
