Sarah Murray, speaking at the Jincheon National Training Center on Monday, said that while she had been given no choice about coaching a joint Korean team there had been no pressure on her to play the North Koreans in actual games.
The two Koreas agreed last week to field a combined women's ice hockey team and march together under one flag at next month's Winter Olympics after a new round of talks amid a thaw in cross-border relations.
The International Olympic Committee said on Saturday that 12 North Korea players would join the South's 23-player squad. The game day roster will continue to be 22 and Murray has to include at least three North Koreans.
More details with Korean political commentator Jung-sik Seo.
