À propos de cet audio
A three-time Olympic medalist shares behind-the-scenes insight into the beloved Canadian National Women's Hockey Team.
Men'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 10 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 listener 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 honors 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 listener 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.

Insightful View …
Into our national pastime from someone who lived it. As someone in Ontario who started playing in the early (late 70’s) recreational female leagues and watched it grow and gain some credibility I appreciated this view into the national programs we just heard rumours of. Small confirms some of the joys and heartbreaks as one of the second generation female grassroots and elite players.
