The United States and Canada are always on a collision course when playing in a women’s hockey tournament, and the 24th Olympic Winter Games has been no exception. Everything leading up to the gold medal game has taken place pretty much as expected, with Team USA and Hockey Canada running through their competition pretty much unopposed — apart from when playing each other.
There are three players and one coach representing Boston College on Team USA. Alex Carpenter ‘16, Megan Keller ‘19, and Cayla Barnes ‘23 are joined by BC Associate Head Coach Courtney Kennedy behind the bench in Beijing, and they’ll look to bring home a second straight women’s hockey Olympic gold for the United States.
