Britain go into the competition on the back of winning the four-team international tournament in Dumfries in December, where they beat Belgium, Netherlands and Spain.

Cochrane (15), a defenceman with Fife Falcons, captained the side while Kelly (16), currently on a scholarship in Ontario, Canada, also featured.

GB U16s head coach, Robert Wilkinson, said: “We’re hoping to continue the progress we made in Dumfries.”
