Springers coach Melissa Lake said it was pretty exciting to have that many athletes picked for the competition which features the best players in the state.
“As a club we are very proud of all our juniors and how they are developing their skills,” she said.
“Now that the club is in its seventh year we can really see the juniors coming through the club. So many are now playing seniors and also coaching the younger players.
“We are really proud of all our JSC players participating in the competition and honoured that they chose Caroline Springs Hockey Club to be their club.”
