Women’s world hockey championship revived in Calgary after pandemic hiatus
CALGARY — The puck drops Friday on a women’s world hockey championship 859 days after the last one.
Who’s counting? American forward Kendall Coyne Schofield is, for one.
“The pinnacle of women’s hockey hasn’t been showcased in 859 days,” Schofield told The Canadian Press. “That’s why it’s important that we’re here.”
Ten countries will compete in summer for a world title in Calgary with the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing less than six months away.
