I remember someone asking about how she was doing here, playing hockey. Well, she played last year for Kirkkonummi Lightning, and got to play some.
And as for you who don't know her, she is the best woman hockey player in the world, Canadian. She has run out of challenge pretty much in womens leagues, and came here to Finland, we had a team interested in her and she made it to the team to play few games.
She did ok, naturally she didn't shine and wasn't the best player, but she filled her place and played pretty good. Lots of suspections, especially in here because she was playing for a small team so the crowd was different too (supporting small local group, thinking who the hell is that woman and what is she doing here!!)
.
But they accepted her, as she was able to surprise most people by being able to play in mens series.
Naturally she couldn't play the physical side, but she took some hits too and didn't complain but continued doing what she is best in, and that is to be a play maker, pass the puck and play center..
---
Now, she has decided to try to come to camp and try to make it on the team for this coming year. The team has advanced to next level, to 1st division. It's not exactly national hockey level yet, but it's pretty good. It will remain to be seen if she makes it into the team or not.
Teemu Selänne owns the team btw...
So that's the latest update to everyone interested about her and how she's doing.
