Zhang Jing (ice hockey)

Zhang began playing ice hockey in 1989 and joined the Chinese national program in 1992. She made her debut with the Chinese women's national ice hockey team in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 1996 Asian Winter Games in her home city of Harbin. It was the first time women's ice hockey had been included in the Asian Games, and China claimed gold in the historic tournament. She next participated in the 1997 IIHF Women's World Championship, at which she notched two assists across five games. The following year, she participated in the inaugural Olympic women's ice hockey tournament at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano. The tournament saw the best finish for the Chinese program on the Olympic stage, as the team finished in fourth place. ==Coaching career==

Following the conclusion of her playing career, Zhang chose to dedicate herself to coaching at the youth level, rather than accept the offer of a coaching position with the national team. She was motivated by the belief that to make Chinese women's ice hockey strong at the international level, training must begin with children. She has served as head coach of the Beijing Youth Women's Ice Hockey Team (), also called the Beijing Swift, since 2016. ==Career statistics==
