It’s after Christmas, and I hope you found some new Dallas Stars merchandise under the tree. As a wife and mom, many of my friends are surprised to find out I am a hockey fan. It can sometimes be nice talking to another lady about the NHL, but they can be few and far between for me. However, when I do meet another lady hockey fan, we instantly have something to talk about. These memories got me thinking about the exposure I had to women’s hockey growing up.
The first woman hockey player I remember was Cammi Granato, captain of the US women’s Olympic hockey team, 1998 gold medalist, and sister of NHL star Tony Granato.
