Team Canada forward Sarah Potomak joined Trinity Western's women's hockey team as an assistant coach last fall.
Potomak, who led the University of Minnesota in scoring this past year with 19 goals and 27 assists in 36 games, comes to TWU as an assistant under head coach Jean Laforest, but will continue to train as a player as she pursues her Olympic dream with Canada's national team. She plans to play with the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA) setup, which features regionalized training hubs and showcase events. Potomak will also be studying to earn her master's degree in leadership and education.
Recently, Potomak was profiled by CTV News for her dedication to the sport of hockey, excellence in coaching, and ambition to play in the Olympics.
