Jack Eichel in the fall of 2021 still did not believe he and the rest of the world’s best hockey players would be going to the Olympics in Beijing a few months later, even after the NHL reached an agreement to do so. “Don’t hold your breath,” Eichel said at the time.

Bishop Kearney will have an undeniable presence when the puck drops for the Olympics later this week. In the women's hockey tournament, eight alumni of the BK Selects program will compete for three different countries. The school, which offers 16-and-under and 19-and-under teams, started its prestigious program in 2016.
