Li Hongchen (Chinese: 李洪臣; pinyin: Lǐ Hóngchén; born October 29, 1975, in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang[1]) is an internationally elite curler who trains out of Harbin, China.[2]
Most of Li's experience at the World level has been as a coach, mainly working with the women and junior teams from 2003 to 2009.
He was added to the Chinese national team at the beginning of the 2009/2010 season. Some sources list him as the Lead for the team; however, the official release from the World Curling Federation lists him as the Alternate[3] for the Chinese Olympic Team.
