Allison Jaime "AJ" Mleczko , married. Mleczko-Griswold , (born June 14, 1975 in Nantucket , Massachusetts ) is a former American ice hockey player . Mleczko was from 1995 to 2002 a member of the women's national ice hockey team of the United States and was with this Olympic champion at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano .

Career

Mleczko spent her high school years at The Taft School in Watertown until 1993 . In addition to ice hockey, she also played field hockey and lacrosse there . She won three consecutive championships with the ice hockey team in the New England region and two championships with the lacrosse team. For the school year 1993/94, the striker moved to Harvard University , for whose women's ice hockey program, which was under construction, she spent the next three years - in addition to her studies in history - at ECAC hockey .

In September 1996 - and thus at the beginning of her fourth and final year of study - Mleczko left Harvard University and was signed by the US ice hockey association USA Hockey , for whose women's national ice hockey team she had made her international debut the previous year. The preparation for the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, began with the national team . First Mleczko played but the 1997 World Cup , where she won the silver medal. At the women's ice hockey tournament held for the first time as part of the 1998 Winter Games, Mleczko and the team won the gold medal.

After these successes, the offensive player returned to Harvard University, where she finished her studies in the summer of 1999. In addition, she led the ice hockey team as team captain, initially winning the ECAC for the first time and then winning the national national title in the college sector, which at that time was not yet sanctioned by the National Collegiate Athletic Association , but by the American Women's College Hockey Alliance . In her final year of college alongside Jennifer Botterill , Angela Ruggiero and Tammy Shewchuk, Mleczko collected a total of 114 scorer points , including 37 goals, in just 34 appearances, which earned her the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award for best college player in the country.

Mleczko returned to USA Hockey after completing his studies and subsequently completed the World Championships in 2000 and 2001 , where she won the silver medal. She then completed - meanwhile retrained to become a defender - with the US team at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City , where it was again only enough to win the silver medal. She then ended her active career.
