Olympic Medalists Aerin Frankel & Alina Müller Talk Milan Victories, Women's Hockey Camaraderie & Caesar Salad

About this episode

Aerin Frankel and Alina Müller discuss their Olympic experiences and the camaraderie in women's hockey.

The Boston Fleet brought home a lot of hardware from the Olympic Games. Goaltender Aerin Frankel recorded a .980 save percentage and became the first Olympic women's hockey player to record three shut-outs on this stage. She helped Team USA to a perfect 7-0 record and GOLD medal! Meanwhile, her teammate Alina Müller scored the game-winning goal with just one minute left in overtime to secure the BRONZE medal for her home country of Switzerland. She also earned the honor of Closing Ceremony flagbearer. Both women -- former Northeastern teammates, roommates, and best friends -- join me fresh off their return from Italy to talk about their historic Olympic experience, returning to Boston for PWHL play, women's hockey camaraderie & more.
