In an effort to boost their competitiveness for the Olympics, the program has recruited several North American players with Korean ancestry. In January 2018, it was announced that a unified Korean team would take part in the games, including players from North Korea. KIHA president Chung Mong-won hired Sarah Murray to coach the team.
