Jinelle Lynn Zaugg-Siergiej née Zaugg (born March 27, 1986) is an American retired ice hockey player and former member of the United States national team, currently serving as associate head coach to the St. Cloud State Huskies women's ice hockey team. She was a member of the 2009–10 United States national women's ice hockey team and won a silver medal in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Zaugg played college ice hockey with the Wisconsin Badgers women's ice hockey program and won the NCAA Women's Ice Hockey Tournament title with the team in 2006 and 2007. In addition, she helped the Minnesota Whitecaps to the Western Women's Hockey League championship in the 2008–09 season.

Playing career

[edit]
  • In high school, Zaugg played for the varsity boys' ice hockey team of Northland Pines High School in Eagle River, Wisconsin. She was on the team that won back-to-back Lumberjack Conference championships as a junior and senior, mostly as a third or fourth liner.

Wisconsin Badgers

[edit]
  • Over her four-year career at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Zaugg won two national championships, and scored 133 career points. In addition, she was named to the 2007 Frozen Four All-Tournament Team, and served as team captain in the 2007–08 season.[1] In her first year at Wisconsin, Zaugg managed to score 12 goals on a shooting percentage of 15%. With 24 goals in the 2005–06 season, she established herself as a major threat on a championship-bound Badgers team. In her junior year, she put together a 29-goal season — nearly doubling her WCHA scoring output of 12 goals from the prior season with 20 goals in conference play. Eight of Zaugg's team-leading 29 goals were game-winners, earning her reputation as a clutch player. When Wisconsin won its second national championship in 2006, Zaugg notched two of the three goals in the game and garnered All-Tournament honors.[1]
