Fresh off winning a silver medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics, Canadian defender Jocelyne Larocque will be returning to her CWHL team this weekend. She will be in the lineup for Markham’s two-game series against Calgary, their last homestand of the season.
Larocque was an assistant captain for Team Canada in Pyeongchang, her second Olympic games—she won gold with Team Canada in Sochi. During the Olympics, she also played her 100th game for Team Canada at the senior level, receiving the golden helmet that the Team Canada women pass around to commemorate that milestone.
Larocque has been with the Thunder since her return from Sochi (she spent the 2012-13 season with Calgary).
