Author: Elizabeth Etue
Paperback · July 2005
Olympic gold medalist Hayley Wickenheiser was born to play hockey. This book vividly recounts her rise to international fame with previously unpublished stories, photographs and quotes. Hayley's story is an inspiration not just to all girls and athletes, but to anyone with ambitious dreams.
At just 12 years old, she was MVP of the women's hockey team in the Canada Winter Games. At 15, she was the youngest player ever to be chosen for Canada's national hockey team. At the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, she led the Canadian women's hockey team to its first-ever gold medal. In 2003 in Finland, she was the first North American woman to play forward on a men's pro team.
"Hayley has not only found ways to play at the highest levels possible, but to succeed at them. Her story shows how natural talent can get you far, but dedication and determination are also needed to attain your dreams." -- Curtis Joseph, NHL goalie and Olympic gold medalist "Hayley's story is truly inspirational. She continues to set goals for herself and overcome any obstacles in achieving her dreams." -- Jarome Iginla, NHL player and Olympic gold medalist.
