Gina Kingsbury said, “When we started this Olympic quad in the fall of 2018, our road to 2022 looked very different,”. “Through adversity, in particular a lack of international competition over the last 14 months, our athletes have stayed focused, committed to their training, and ready to compete when the time came. We had some difficult decisions to make, but that just shows how hard our athletes have worked on and off the ice for the opportunity to centralize and get a chance to compete for 23 Olympic roster spots. We have several veterans on this roster in addition to some young athletes who have earned this opportunity.”

The women’s Hockey Team is going to have a great opportunity to practice for the next season before the winter Olympics. They with season vets and new players ready and hungry to represent the Canadian team, surely, they should be winning some games to make us proud. Especially with the 23-Year-old Loren Gabel, she might have the most star power. She has won the Patty Kazmaier the top US College women’s player as a senior. She has been with team Canada since the 2018 Fourth Nation’s Cup. She scored 40 goals in a season. Wow!
