PLYMOUTH, Mich. — Out with the old and in with the new.
That’s one way of explaining the shift undergoing at the women’s world hockey championship.
With Haley Wickenheiser having retired in February and Caroline Ouellet transitioning into coaching, a new wave of Canadian players is being leaned on to continue the string of four consecutive Olympic gold medals next year in South Korea.
One of those new names is Sarah Potomak.
The 19-year-old is the youngest player on Team Canada. But with two goals and one assist in four games at the women’s worlds — including the game-winner in Thursday’s 4-0 semifinal victory over Finland — she isn’t waiting around to make an impact.
