Former Olympic teammates will compete against each other this weekend when the University of Toronto hosts the Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) women’s hockey championships.

“It’s great to be back,” said Vicky Sunohara, head coach of the Varsity Blues women’s hockey team. “It’s a different level we’re playing, and we’re coaching against each other, but it is just fun-- it’s a great reunion.”
