Jocelyne Larocque

Her Olympic debut with the national team came at the 2014 Sochi Olympics where Team Canada won the gold medal. She played in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, winning a silver medal with Team Canada.

She issued an apology the following day, saying in part, "In the moment, I was disappointed with the outcome of the game and my emotions got the better of me. I meant no disrespect. It has been an honour to represent my country and win a medal for Canada. I'm proud of our team and proud to be counted among the Canadian athletes who have won medals at these games."
