Alina Muller has already accomplished plenty in the 10 years since scoring Switzerland’s bronze-clinching goal to become, at 15, the youngest women’s hockey player to win a medal at a Winter Olympics.
Another first comes Thursday when she takes part in the Professional Women’s Hockey League’s 3-on-3 showcase game as part of the NHL’s All-Star weekend festivities in Toronto.
For Muller, who plays for Boston in the first season of the PWHL, it's her first time competing in an NHL arena.
“Super, super excited for this moment,” she said. “This is another big stage and, yeah, it’ll be really cool to be at the same place with the best of men’s hockey.”
