As the announcement explains, the ice hockey teams will combine former players from the National Hockey League, college athletes and minor league players.

As Tony Granato, the men’s team coach, explained in a statement, according to Time:

“Obviously from a selection process, it’s been a battle for us on all the players we have available to us. I think we’ve put together an outstanding group of players that will represent us well come February and give us a great chance to do really well and compete for a medal.”

Meghan Duggan, who is part of the women’s team, described the work it took making up the team:

“We had to figure out what we were made of, what we wanted to accomplish over these last couple of years, and really put ourselves in a position to achieve the goal we want to achieve as a program and as a team and as a country going into this next Olympics.”

“We’re excited…We’ve got the right group.”
