Three-time Olympic medalist shares behind-the-scenes insight into the beloved Canadian National Women' s Hockey TeamMen' s hockey in Canada may hog the limelight, but interest in women' s hockey has never been higher. The Role I Played is a memoir of Sami Jo Small' s ten years with Canada' s National Women' s Hockey Team. Beginning with her experience as a rookie at the first-ever women' s Olympic hockey tournament in Nagano in 1998 and culminating with Canada' s third straight Olympic gold medal in Vancouver in 2010, the veteran goaltender gives the reader behind-the-scenes insight into one of the most successful teams in sports history. Small offers insider access, writing with unflinching honesty about the triumphs of her greatest games and the anguish of difficult times. This book honours the individuals who sacrificed so much of their lives to represent Canada on a world stage and celebrates their individual contributions to the team' s glory. While bringing the personalities of her teammates to life, Small takes the reader into the dressing rooms and onto the ice for an up-close glimpse into the ups and downs of athletes pursuing a sport' s highest achievement.
"While many hockey fans will recognize the contributions to the women' s game by American and Canadian stars such as Cammi Granato, Katie King, Haley Wickenheiser and Danielle Goyette, the contributions of players like Sami Jo Small should be recognized as well and this book will bring a lot of information and enjoyment to hockey fans everywhere.
