Beijing 2022: Yuzuru Hanyu, Jamie Anderson and Connor McDavid lead list of superstars to watch at Winter Games
- Beijing will host second Olympics in less than a year in February during an unprecedented global pandemic
- Five superstars, from cross-country skiing and snowboarding to figure skating and ice hockey will look to leave their mark on the Winter Games
Kendall Coyne Schofield
The diminutive but incredibly explosive 29-year-old is one of the greatest female hockey players to lace up the skates for the United States, and will most likely get the chance to lead an American squad who are looking to win a second consecutive gold after beating the Canadians in South Korea in 2018.
Coyne Schofield’s knowledge and understanding of the game have landed her roles in colour commentary when it comes to the National Hockey League, working for the San Jose Sharks, and the Chicago Blackhawks in terms of player development.
The famed Canadian-US rivalry in women’s ice hockey has gifted us some amazing games over the years, and Beijing will likely come down to another battle between the two countries, with Coyne Schofield most likely on the ice when the game comes down to one final play.
