The Great Britain women's ice hockey squad for October's Winter Olympic Games qualifiers has been announced.

GB will face Iceland, Slovenia and Korea in qualifiers taking place between 7-10 October in Gangneung, South Korea.

Group winners will advance to November's final qualification tournament for next year's Winter Games.

The 2022 Games take place in Beijing, China and will begin on 4 February.

Head coach Mike Clancy said: "This was a tough roster to select and many high-quality players have not made the squad.

"Playing for your country is the highest honour and this being an Olympic competition makes it that extra bit special."
