ITHACA, N.Y. – The pipeline between Cornell and Canada's women's hockey team for the Olympics continues in 2022, with Hockey Canada announcing on Tuesday afternoon that Brianne Jenner '15, Rebecca Johnston '12, Jillian Saulnier '15 and Micah Zandee-Hart '20 have been named to the 23-player roster that is ticketed to compete at the Beijing Winter Games. Doug Derraugh '91, who just won his 300th career game as the Everett Family Head Coach of Women's Hockey, will also continue to serve as assistant coach for Team Canada.
 
Johnston is scheduled to compete in the Olympics for a fourth time, having won gold medals in 2010 and 2014. Jenner was also on the 2014 team while taking a year off in the middle of her collegiate career with Cornell, then both Johnston and Jenner were joined by Saulnier for a 2018 Games that ended with Canada claiming a silver medal. Zandee-Hart is in line to make her Olympic debut after she was among the final cuts for the PyeongChang Games following preparations with Canada's centralized roster.
 
All four of the alumnae had decorated careers competing under Derraugh at Cornell. Johnston was a three-time All-American and a four-time All-Ivy League first-team and All-ECAC Hockey first-team selection. The forward still holds the career goals record (97) for the program is it joined the NCAA umbrella in 2000. Jenner was also a four-time All-ECAC Hockey and All-Ivy first-team selection, and she was named the ECAC Hockey Player of the Year and the Ivy League Player of the Year in 2013 and 2015. Jenner holds the Cornell NCAA-era records in career points (229), assists (136) and game-winning goals (20).
 
Saulnier was a two-time All-ECAC Hockey first team and All-Ivy selection while also becoming an All-America first-team pick and a top-three finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award as a junior. She ranks fourth in school history in game-winning goals (12), short-handed goals (5), assists (114) and rating (plus-108). The lone blueliner among the group, Zandee-Hart was a three-time selection to both the All-Ivy League and All-ECAC Hockey teams while twice being selected for the All-USCHO national third team. She was also nominated for the Patty Kazmaier Award during her senior season, when the Big Red was the top overall seed heading into the NCAA tournament before the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the rest of the postseason.
 
Canada has been placed in Group A of the women's hockey tournament at the Beijing Winter Games, opening play against Switzerland on Feb. 3. The playoff round starts on Feb. 11, building up to the gold medal game on Feb. 17.
