And now The EDGE has been selected as the primary training facility for USA Hockey’s Women’s National Team in preparation for next year’s Olympics at Sochi

According to USA Hockey’s Reagan Carey, Director Women’s Hockey:

“I am eager to relay that we have expanded our National Team training facilities to include The Edge (Sports Center in Bedford, Massachusetts). The Edge will be our primary training facility in the months leading up to the Sochi Olympics.

Teaming up with The Edge owner, Scott Fusco, a USA Hockey Olympian / Alumni member himself, ensures we will be in good hands! By locating our residency in the Boston area we are eager to help support the continued growth and active female hockey community in the North East. With support from our home rink in Blaine, Minnesota and our newly acquired partnership in Boston we look forward to leveraging the support of these two great hockey communities.”

The team will occupy space in the new ice rink constructed in 2012, pending building and occupancy permits from the town. “This is a great opportunity and honor for the Edge to be selected by USA Hockey, and demonstrates to our 650 East Coast Wizards players that their hard work can pay off by seeing these great National Team players practice at our facility” said Fusco.

With current annual attendance in excess of 500,000 athletes and family members, the EDGE has already become the premier hub of the North West Boston recreational community. In the five years since its opening, the EDGE Sports Center and East Coast Wizards have experienced phenomenal growth and success in establishing the premier sports complex in eastern Massachusetts with Wizards Hockey, Wizards Field Hockey and Wizards Lacrosse.

The EDGE Sports Center is comprised of the following recreational facilities:

. Two NHL sized ice rinks
. Two full sized lighted outdoor turf fields
. Three indoor winter turf fields under an Air Supported Structure
. Expanded strength and conditioning center
. Physical therapy practice

Located in Bedford, MA, the EDGE is approximately 5 minutes from Route 95/128 and within 10 minutes of the Route 93, Route 3, and Route 2 interchanges with Route 95/128.
