Athlete to Watch – Monday, February 22nd

22 Feb

Hayley Wickenheiser

Hayley Wickenheiser – Women’s Hockey
Tonight, all eyes will be on Ice Dancers Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir who are poised to skate away with the Gold Medal (hey, we called it earlier this week!) But another athlete primed for Gold is Women’s Hockey captain Hayley Wickenheiser! A veteran of three Olympic Games, Wickenheiser already has two Olympic Gold medals and is looking to add a third. Arguably the best female hockey player of all time, she also plays in a Swedish men’s pro league! Any Swedish she may have picked up will come in handy tonight, as Team Canada goes head-to-head with Sweden in the semi-finals. Go Canada!
