Happening Friday, January 24, the game pits Team Canada against the U.S., which the hockey player has done many times over her 16-year Olympic career.
Best of luck to our own @MeghanAgosta who is playing for for @HC_Women's hockey team during the #RivalrySeries. Meghan balances a career in policing, being a mom, and representing Canada, pretty impressive. https://t.co/waCypksElF #TeamVPD #rolemodel @VancouverPD pic.twitter.com/M6CFLfxbWq

While the Americans won the 2018 gold medal game 3-2, Agosta led the Canadians to gold in 2010. Because of her offensive, Agosta earned the Most Valuable Player and Best Forward awards.
The hockey player took a break from the national team after the 2014 Games, before joining the Vancouver Police Department.
The NHL game will happen over two 10-minute periods. That will be followed by a three-minute overtime session, if there’s a tie.
