PWHL co top-scorer Hannah Miller, who represented China at Beijing 2022 and was born in Vancouver, submitted a request to play for to the IIHF.
 

China apparently isn’t allowing naturalized players on their roster anymore, so this is her only option for playing at an international level.

they (IIHF) would have to make some kind of exception to the rules because, "A player, who has previously participated in IIHF competition, can switch national eligibility (but only once in a player's life)"  Additionally, it would be interesting to know when she submitted the request to change, it would have to have been at least two years before the Olympics start.
