CRANBERRY, Pa. -- At just 22 years old, Team USA goaltender Maddie Rooney has accomplished quite a bit.
Rooney (no, no relation to those Rooneys) made her debut with the senior women's national team in the 2017 World Championship as a backup goaltender and made one appearance, a shutout over Russia in the preliminary round as the U.S. team went on to win gold. She was again the backup in the next World Championship in 2019, and recorded shutouts in both of her starts as the U.S. again won gold.
The highlight of her career, though came in the 2018 Olympics.
