The next is a Bronze Medal at the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin, and most recently, the Silver Medal from the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.
The captain of the team is going to be Meghan Duggan. She is a forward who, along with Julie Chu, represented Team USA in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
