Seven players will be making their Olympic debuts in Milan: forwards Daryl Watts, Jenn Gardiner, Julia Gosling and Kristin O\u2019Neill, defenders Sophie Jaques and Kati Tabin, and goaltender Kayle Osborne.<\/p>\n
Head coach Troy Ryan, who led Canada to gold in 2022, is joined behind the bench by assistant coaches Kori Cheverie, Caroline Ouellette, Britni Smith and goaltending consultant Brad Kirkwood.<\/p>\n
The women\u2019s tournament kicks off Feb. 5, with the gold-medal game on Feb. 19. Canada is skating in Group A alongside the United States, Finland, Czechia and Switzerland. Group B consists of Germany, Sweden, Japan, France and host Italy.<\/p>\n
