The Buckeye men and women’s hockey teams have much to celebrate as the 2022 Winter Olympics kick off in Beijing this week.
Seven present or former Buckeye hockey players will be participating in the games. Alum Matt Tomkins will represent Team Canada in men’s ice hockey, while six women’s hockey players will represent five countries (Emma Maltais and Natalie Spooner will represent Canada, Sophie Lundin will rep Sweden, Andrea Braendli will compete for Switzerland, and Minttu Tuominen will represent Finland).
But the Buckeye athlete I’m most excited to watch is alum Jincy Dunne, who earned her spot on Team USA and will be making her Olympic debut as one of eight first-time Olympians on the roster in Beijing.
