(AP/WMTV) - Brianna Decker was stretchered off the ice with what appeared to be a severe leg injury in the U.S. women’s hockey team’s opening game at the Beijing Olympics and her 2022 Olympics may be over early.

Multiple reports indicate USA Hockey has already confirmed the Dousman, Wisconsin-native will miss the rest of the Olympics because of the injury.

Decker cried out in pain several times while lying on the ice after being tripped from behind by Finland’s Ronja Savolainen to the left of the U.S. net in the first period. Savolainen hooked her leg around Decker’s, and the two fell awkwardly to the ice with the Finland player landing on top of Decker.
