ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State Women's Hockey has announced their captains ahead of the 2022-23 season. Senior forward Taylor Lind will serve as the Huskies' captain while fifth-year forward Jenniina Nylund, graduate defender Taytum Geier and senior forward Klára Hymlárová will don the "A" as assistant captains.

"These four truly stood out in their ability to steer our program forward," said head coach Brian Idalski, "Our captains lead with their composure, determination, effort and competitiveness. Their shared experience across the hockey map is incredibly valuable, as is their willingness to help their teammates grow on and off the ice. We are excited to watch this group lead in 2022-23."

Taylor Lind will wear a letter for the first time in her collegiate career this season. The Shaunavon, Saskatchewan native led the Huskies in both assists and points while delivering an 8-17-25 line as a junior. A two-time WCHA All-Academic Team honoree, Lind is five points away from reaching the SCSU 50-point club.

Jenniina Nylund served as an assistant captain in 2021-22 for St. Cloud State, earning her third WCHA All-Academic honor. She earned Bronze at the 2022 Winter Olympics with Finland, becoming the first active Huskies Women's Hockey player to medal at the Games. A product of Pietarsaari, Nylund skated to a Huskies-leading plus-five over 18 games while delivering a 7-8-15 line.

Taytum Geier donned the "A" midway through last season in a critical time for the Huskies, returning as an assistant captain in 2022-23. A three-time WCHA All-Academic selection, Geier blocked 37 shots and provided six assists over 29 games while anchoring a young defensive corps. The Verona, Wisconsin native has skated in 117 games over her four seasons with St. Cloud State.

Klára Hymlárová adds a captaincy to an already well-decorated career, having appeared in five World Championships with Czechia and earning Bronze this past August. The two-time WCHA All-Academic recipient participated in the 2022 Winter Olympics and skated in 15 games for St. Cloud State. Hymlárová has provided an 11-28-39 line over 69 collegiate games played.
