Hey there, time traveller!

Neepawa’s Halli Krzyzaniak will try to help the Canadian women’s hockey team win a world championship in Sweden.
The 20-year-old is the youngest of the seven defencemen named to the team on Thursday and is the second-youngest player on the squad behind 19-year-old forward Emily Clark of Saskatoon.
This will be the second stint on the senior women’s national team for the 5-foot-7 Krzyzaniak. She played in the Four Nations Cup in the fall and recorded one assist in four games while helping the Canadians win the gold medal. She saw a lot of ice time, including on Canada’s power-play and penalty-killing units.
In 34 games with the University of North Dakota this season, the sophomore blue-liner had two goals and 13 points, with a plus/minus of +11 as UND finished third in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association with a 16-9-3-2 record before falling 4-1 to Wisconsin in the semifinals.
Former Brandon Wheat King coach Dwayne Gylywoychuk, who still lives in Brandon, will serve as an assistant coach with the Canadian team.
The women’s worlds run from March 28 to April 4 in Malmö, Sweden.
