19 Women Athletes to Watch at the 2022 Olympics

Sport: Ice hockey
Country: USA

As a member of the Wahnapitae First Nation, part of the Ojibwe First Nation, Abby Roque is the first Indigenous woman hockey player to be a part of Team USA — and she'll do it with a team that, for the first time in 20 years, is defending an Olympic gold medal. Roque, a center, is in a good position to help them do just that. The 24-year-old is coming off of a standout college career at the University of Wisconsin and is already surrounded by some major hype. Teammate and four-time Olympian Hilary Knight has said, "I think she's going to be the best player in the world. Plain and simple."
