After graduating from college, Dunn moved to the US Ice Hockey Association USA Hockey , which she represented for the next ten years with the US women's national ice hockey team in almost every major international tournament. After winning the silver medal at the 1997 World Cup , the attacker took part in the women's ice hockey tournament, which was held for the first time as part of the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan .
