Team Canada goalie Kristen Campbell had her first NCAA program cancelled by the University of North Dakota, then had her second chance at Wisconsin cut short by the pandemic just as the Badgers prepared to defend a national championship. Despite those setbacks, Campbell made the 2022 Olympic roster and recorded a shutout in her first game with Canada's senior women's team, crediting sports psychology with Pete Fry and sports vision training with Dr. Chris Woo as key parts of her development.
