BURLINGTON – It was 14 years ago that Team USA made history, shocking Canada and winning the first ever Olympic gold for women’s hockey with a 3-1 win in the decisive game. Jenny Schmidgall was on that team, the 19-year-old playing in her first major tournament for her country. Fourteen years later and playing under her married name of Jenny Potter, the 33-year-old is the oldest member of Team USA here in Burlington—and the last active player from ’98 as well. “I am the oldest,” she confirms wistfully. “It sucks.” Despite being the oldest, Potter shows no signs of slowing down and has no inclination to stop playing. “It’s something I enjoy doing. I love playing hockey. I want to get better, but I take it one year at a time.” These desires lead to one central goal—the 2014 Olympics. “I’d love to make Sochi, but you never know what hurdles might come up in your life, different things might bring you down different paths. Right now, I’m still playing and still enjoying it.” The ’98 team holds a special place in Potter’s heart, and although she is the last active player from that team, they are a close-knit group. “I see them all the time at various functions. We try to keep in touch. Sometimes it feels like yesterday when you’re around them, but then sometimes when I’m with the younger kids it seems like a long time ago.” Here is the complete roster from that first gold-medal team with brief updates of what they are doing now (or recently): Cammi Granato (captain) — started Golden Dreams for Children Foundation.
