The unified DPRK and South Korean women's ice hockey team has held its first joint training session ahead of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

The session was led by the joint team's head coach Sarah Murray at South Korea's National Training Center in Jincheon. Twelve players from the north have been added to the existing South Korean women's squad of 23 and at least three DPRK players will be selected for each match. The joint team will wear unity jerseys and all Korean athletes from the north and south will march behind a unified peninsula flag at the opening ceremony on February 9th.
