Description
The Qwest Tour will feature the 2009-10 U.S. Women's National Team playing 10 games throughout the United States in preparation for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Kicking off on Sept. 25, 2009, at the Xcel Energy Center, the Qwest Tour will stop in nine U.S. cities and will continue into February 2010 with the team's final game before the Olympic Winter Games against Finland at the Colorado Springs World Arena.

The United States roster includes three goaltenders, seven defensemen and 13 forwards. Six of the players have Olympic experience and 21 athletes have competed in an International Ice Hockey Federation World Women's Championship, including 20 who have captured a gold medal either this year or last. Nineteen of the 21 players from the 2009 U.S. Women's National Team return to the squad for the 2009-10 season.
