Ohio State Women's Ice Hockey (2022 WCHA Champions, 2022, 2024 National Champions)

OLYMPIC VILLAGE. The Ohio State women's ice hockey team has been a frequent of my Olympic Village segment this summer and fall, and that's because they are the best team in their sport.

Not only are the Buckeyes the defending national champions, but they are also the No. 1 team in the first United States Collegiate Hockey Organization top 15 poll ahead of the 2022-23 season.



Ohio State returns most of its title-winning roster from last season, including its top-two offensive contributors. Defenseman and Patty Kazmaier Award finalist Sophie Jacques led last year's Buckeyes with 59 points on 21 goals and 38 assists, while forward Paetyn Levis added 53 points from 24 scores and 25 helpers.

Amanda Thiele returns for her third season in net after an 18-3 season. She stopped 93.9 percent of her opponent's shots and made 465 saves between the posts. After spending last year playing internationally for Team Canada, gold medalist Emma Maltais will be back in uniform for the Buckeyes, bringing a scoring ability that will lead the likes of Gabby Rosenthal, Jenna Buglioni and Jennifer Gardiner.

All in all, things are looking good for Nadine Muzerall's squad. The program won its first championship last season, so why not do it again this year?
