In 2022, FIllier went to Beijing to compete in the Olympics for Team Canada. She was able to help her team bring home the gold for her country.
After an incredible Olympic victory, Fillier went back to Princeton to finish out her college career. Still wearing the “C” on her chest, she scored 19 goals and earned 18 assists amongst 31 games for a total of 37 points amongst the 2022-23 season.
