China, as part of its pre-Olympic preparation for the 2014 Olympic Games, is doing a North American tour which included a previous game against the Toronto Varsity Blues on Sept. 30.
“The opportunity to play an Olympic team from an emerging world powerhouse is something our players will remember for the rest of their lives,” says Mustangs first-year women’s hockey head coach Chris Higgins. “It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Western’s women’s team lost its home opener 5-1 on Windsor on Oct. 8 but hopes to rebound this weekend against Queen’s (Saturday, 4 p.m.) and UOIT (Sunday, 2 p.m.). Both games are at Thompson Arena.
