Olympic dream one step closer for Maschmeyer
A lifelong dream has finally come true for a local women’s hockey goalie and former Lamont County resident.
Emerance Maschmeyer, 26, was chosen as one of three goalies on the centralization roster striving to compete for a gold medal at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.
Maschmeyer said the roster will go through one more cut before the final list, which will be confirmed in Dec.
“We currently have 28 players and three goalies on the centralized roster. We can only have 23 total, which includes three goalies, so five more skaters will be released,” she said.
Maschmeyer, who has been obsessed with playing hockey since the tender age of three, lost out on the same opportunity four years ago.
“My first time being on the senior national team roster was 2014. I had been to all the events up until the 2018 Olympics. I knew they trusted me to take me to every one of those events,” she said.
In spite of being chosen to attend tournaments and world championships, Maschmeyer said news that she had not made the Olympic team was crushing.
“Disappointed was an understatement,” she said. “It’s something I had been working towards since I was a young girl. I leaned on my family and friends for support. It was going to be four years before I got this opportunity again.”
After spending time processing the missed opportunity, Maschmeyer said she developed a plan.
“I felt like I needed a new perspective so I decided to move to Montreal and play for the Les Canadiennes in the CWHL while also being the alternate for the centralized team that was based in Calgary,” she said.
Four years later, Maschmeyer got the news she had been waiting for.
“I was at my condo in Montreal on a zoom call with our head coach Troy Ryan and the general manager Gina Kingsbury. They told me the news,” she said.
“I still can’t believe it sometimes. It feels surreal. I am honoured to be on this journey with this group and I’m excited to backstop this team to success.”
