Chloe Primerano has landed her first NIL deal with Quench When Canada first stepped on the ice for the World Championships in 1990, there were two 19-year-old teenagers on the team - Vicky Sunohara and Laura Schuler. Two years later when the World Championships returned, the lone teenager on Team Canada was 18-year-old Nancy Droulet. Since then, a spackling of teens have managed to crack the most dominant national team in women's hockey history. It's a group that has included names like Cheryl Pounder, Jayna Hefford, Caroline Ouellette, Jennifer Botterill, Gina Kingsbury, Sarah Vaillancourt, Rebecca Johnston, Meghan Agosta, Marie-Philip Poulin, Emily Clark, and Sarah Potomak Only Poulin and Clark remain active. When Hayley Wickenheiser stepped on the ice at the 1994 World Championships, she was the youngest player in Canadian history to play for the national team at Worlds or the Olympics, stepping on the ice at only 15-years of age. It's a storied group of only 15 players in the 34 year history of Team Canada, that recent Hockey Canada national team camp invite Chloe Primerano has the chance to join. If Primerano, 17, who is entering the NCAA a year early this season, were to make Canada's 2025 World Championship roster, she would be 18-years-old, having turned 18 only three months prior to the tournament. It would make her the youngest defender in Team Canada history to ever play in a World Championship or Olympic Games. She'd also be only the second teenage defender, alongside Cheryl Pounder, to ever play for Canada. In her first U-18 tournament last year, Primerano broke Canada's records for goals and points by a defender in a single tournament. She also broke the CSSHL single season points record for a defender. If Primerano can step on the ice this year, or next, she'll join elite company alongside the best to ever wear a Team Canada jersey.
