The two sides entered the penalty shootout with a score of 1-1. The Chinese goalkeeper saved the shots of all five players of the Japanese team in the penalty shootout, helping the Chinese team finally beat the Japanese team 2-1 and usher in two consecutive victories.

The goalkeeper of the Chinese team is Zhou Jiaying. Opening her resume is another “hanging” life. She is not only an excellent ice hockey goalkeeper, but also a student bully of an American “Ivy League” school and a high paid analyst on Wall Street.

Zhou Jiaying grew up in a very strong sports atmosphere in Canada. Mother Zhou Jianping graduated from Xi’an Jiaotong University and once played for the basketball team of Xi’an Jiaotong University; Father Nicholas was also a hockey goalkeeper. Zhou Jiaying perfectly inherited his parents’ Sports gene. Her brother is also a professional hockey player and plays for the Harvard hockey team.

In fact, Zhou Jiaying first learned figure skating and later went to the ice court, largely because of his brother. She often watched her brother play ice hockey. Finally one day, she begged her mother to buy her a set of goalkeeper protector and play. Mother disagreed at first, but she finally gave in after her “entanglement”. This decision also achieved Zhou Jiaying in the future. She changed to playing ice hockey from then on.

Because there are very few girls playing ice hockey, Zhou Jiaying trained with male players since childhood. He served as a goalkeeper in his brother’s men’s team. When he was 15, he played for the benabi A1 men’s team subordinate to triple a North West giants in Canada and helped the team win the bronze medal in the Canadian Western Invitational

While playing for Princeton University ice hockey team, he was rated as “best goalkeeper of the week” and “best goalkeeper of the month” for many times, and was selected into the All-Star team for four consecutive years.

In 2016, Zhou Jiaying, who majored in economics and finance, graduated successfully. After graduation, she became a fund analyst of Credit Suisse, a well-known investment bank on Wall Street. However, after only working for about a year, she gave up her high paying job on Wall Street, joined Shenzhen Kunlun Hongxing club, regained her club and prepared for the subsequent Beijing Winter Olympics.
