The fast-paced physicality of women’s ice hockey returns for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Here’s the schedule and how to watch the events.
Out of the 23 players on the Olympic roster, 15 of them have Olympic experience and 13 of them will be returning from the 2018 gold-medal team.
Megan Bozek and Alex Carpenter are back on the squad after being the last two cuts on the 2018 team. The two each secured five points back in 2014. It has been the U.S. and Canada in the gold medal match for five of the six prior Winter Olympics. The lone exception was in 2006 when Sweden upset the United States in the semifinals, winning 3-2 in a shootout.
Canada will have Marie-Philip Poulin, or “Captain Clutch” as she’s called, leading the way for their squad. The 30-year-old has a flair for the dramatic, of which the U.S. knows all too well. She scored both goals in Canada’s 2-0 win over the U.S. for the gold medal at the 2010 Olympics, she potted the game-tying and game-winning goals in the 3-2 overtime win in the gold-medal game over the U.S.
