An initial 15-player squad was announced to represent the state in September.
The team's composition may change based on Tassie league player performances throughout the season and after the under-17 and under-19 nationals in Hobart in July.
As it stands, Hawks captain Danni Pickett, as well as shooter Ashlea Mawer and centre Jamie Symons will suit up for the state team.

They'll be joined by Cavs captain Shelby Miller, attacker Zoe Claridge, shooter Hayley McDougall and defender Hannah Lenthall.
Both Pickett and Cavs co-coach Dannie Carstens were proud of their players' accomplishments.
"To have that many people break through to the next step - you know that you're on the right path in terms of the time you're putting into those programs," Carstens said.
Pickett said she was particularly pleased with her teammate Ashlea Mawer, who continues to improve her already sharp form in shooting.
The location of the tournament will be announced in the coming weeks.
