Amanda Kessel’s ‘sights set’ on 2018 Olympics, report says
Amanda Kessel is a little more than one month into her competitive comeback from a life-changing concussion, but she’s reportedly already planning on playing hockey at least another two years.
Kessel will set her sights on the 2018 Olympics after she graduates from the University of Minnesota this summer, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Kessel, a 24-year-old who sat out nearly two years after the Sochi Olympics, scored the first hat trick of her comeback in her final game at the University of Minnesota’s Ridder Arena on Saturday.
The 6-2 win over Princeton moved the Golden Gophers into this weekend’s NCAA Frozen Four.
