The number of medals the United States took home in the recent Winter Games were far fewer than expected, but one of the teams that came out on top was the women’s hockey team. Third time Olympian and Westfield native Kacey Bellamy was part of the 2018 United States Women’s Hockey team, who took gold in a match over rival Team Canada.
Ron Chimelis of The Republican/MassLive spoke with Carrie Saldo about Bellamy’s connection to western Mass, how women’s hockey has evolved in recent years, and what gave Team USA the edge over Team Canada in this year’s game.
