Zhang Jing (born 18 March 1977) is a Chinese ice hockey coach and retired forward. She has served as assistant coach of the Chinese national team since 2025 and head coach of the Beijing Youth Women's Ice Hockey Team since 2016.
Zhang began playing ice hockey in 1989 and joined the Chinese national program in 1992.[2]
She made her debut with the Chinese women's national ice hockey team in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 1996 Asian Winter Games in her home city of Harbin. It was the first time women's ice hockey had been included in the Asian Games,and China claimed gold in the historic tournament.
Following the conclusion of her playing career,Zhang chose to dedicate herself to coaching at the youth level,rather than accept the offer of a coaching position with the national team.[1] She was motivated by the belief that to make Chinese women's ice hockey strong at the international level,training must begin with children.[3]
She has served as head coach of the Beijing Youth Women's Ice Hockey Team (北京市青少年女子冰球队),also called the Beijing Swift,since 2016.[2] Under Zhang's guidance,the team has participated in two National Winter Games of China,winning the silver medal in 2016 and gold in 2024.[4]
