Former Ohio State women’s hockey players Clair DeGeorge, Jincy Dunne, Liz Schepers and Tatum Skaggs have been selected to the roster.

Schepers, captain of the 2022 national championship team, and Skaggs, a member of the Buckeyes’ first team to win a WCHA Final Faceoff championship, will be making their national team debut this February.

DeGeorge, also a member of the 2022 national championship team, skated in the November Rivalry Series games. She made her national team debut at the 2019-20 Rivalry Series.
