I was tempted to say "unbelievable" but it is Maya. Wow.

I forgot to highlight Maya's outstanding HBR of 2.0 for the season....

Maya and Yuko Oga (Japanese) are the only players on their team without Chinese names. I wonder if Maya speaks any Chinese, or if any of the coaches speaks English, or how they communicate?

It's not easy......!

Communicating with teammates has taken a little more work with up to four languages being spoken in team huddles.
"It's pretty comical," Moore said laughing. "I speak English, one of my teammates is Korean. That's two languages. Two of our coaches are Spanish -- one is the Spanish national team head coach. The first couple days I was there my head was spinning." LINK

Moore is certainly no exception. With a Spanish head coach who speaks minimal English, a Korean teammate who speaks a few words of English and zero Chinese and Chinese teammates who speak no Spanish, no Korean and basic-at-best English there are four languages being spoken in the huddle, all of which are being communicated by three separate translators.

"Chinese is a very difficult language to learn. I had to learn a few basic words to communicate with my teammates on the court and my coach, like screen, rebound, and shoot. It was a different experience for me to use body and sign language to communicate." LINK

She could be wearing blue or red, but there's only one player with that shot.

Is hockey played in China? If so, are the defensemen known as Chinese Checkers?
