Tia Chan

Tia Chan was 19 years old when she represented China at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing — one of the more striking early chapters in the career of a Hamilton, Ontario-born goaltender who plays under the name Chen Tiya (陈提娅) for the Chinese national team. Chan, who catches right and wears number 88, was selected by PWHL San Jose in the 2026 PWHL Draft.

Chan's path to San Jose ran through the University of Connecticut, where she played college hockey with the UConn Huskies, and through the Zhenskaya Hockey League, where she suited up for the KRS Vanke Rays. Her international career with the Chinese national program brought her to the Olympic stage before she had turned 20.
