Meet the American-made China hockey team



BEIJING — “Captain China” was born in Vancouver, and his goaltender is from Michigan. Their teammates are the son of a U.S. Olympian, and guys named Kane and Schultz. They were almost disinvited from their own Olympics, spared embarrassment, but in the end, they made it, to the National Indoor Stadium on Thursday, to host Team USA.

They’re the most fascinating team at the Winter Games, a mishmash of mostly North American hockey players with adopted Chinese names. They represent a country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship, and a team that rarely speaks that country’s native tongue.

Wow, this Canadian born Chinese girl is not allowed to speak English:

Zhou Jiaying, a Canadian-born member of the Chinese women's hockey team, was not allowed to answer questions in English during an Olympic media availability earlier this week. ... The 26-year-old is listed as fluent in English, Mandarin and French on her official Olympic bio page.
