Success in PyeongChang
|
By USA Hockey
On February 22nd,
U.S. Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Team defeated Canada,
3-2, in a captivating six-round shootout, to take the gold medal at the
2018 Olympic Winter Games. The victory gave the United States its second gold medal in women's ice hockey after Team USA claimed the inaugural gold medal in the event at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. The U.S. Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Team has now medaled in all six Olympic appearances to date (gold - 1998, 2018; silver - 2002, 2010, 2014 and bronze - 2006).
"I am extremely happy for our players," said U.S. Women's Olympic team head coach
Robb Stauber. "They have worked so hard, and we have gone through a lot together. To be standing here as Olympic gold medalists is really special, and I have to say again how I am really happy for our players."
"You cannot put into words this moment" said U.S. Women's Olympic team captain
Meghan Duggan (Danvers, Mass.). "It is the greatest moment of our lives, and greatest honor of our lives. We are so proud to represent the U.S., USA Hockey, and everyone who supported us along the way. This team is made of gold and we proved it today."

Fenwick Girls Looking for First-Ever State Championship
By Ross Forman ~ His frustrations as a coach led Mason Strom to officiating. "I approach games not only from the viewpoint of an official, but a coach as well and I try to eliminate the things that frustrate me as a coach," Strom said. "Being an official means making the tough decisions, even if they are not the popular ones because (that's) what is right and what the integrity of the game deserves."
Strom, 31, who lives in River Forest and is a film and broadcasting teacher at Maine South High School in Park Ridge, has been officiating for 7 ½ years - and is a Level 4 official this season. He also is in his seventh season as the head coach for the Fenwick girls' team - which earned the No. 2 seed in the Illinois State Tournament. READ MORE>>
