    Hailey Wickenheiser Makes History in Finland



    I watched the game on WTSN yesterday & Hailey held her own.
    As the starting centre for her team, she took 18 faceoffs, won nine of them, lost six and tied three. She also won a key faceoff in the offensive zone on her teams first goal, got it straight back to the point man for an assist on his (one-timer) goal.

    Overall, a very good debut. What was interesting was this team has a couple of "novelty" acts...both Hailey and they also have a set of twins that play on the same line. By "novelty" I'm not taking anything away from Hailey...this team would rank up there with the Montreal Royals, the pro baseball team that Jackie Robinson came into the pros with in terms of progressive thought.

    Twins is a novelty? Don't the Canucks have them beat on that one?

            You forgot to mention she also put the puck in her own net.

            Also there was a German woman who played for 27 games in the European league, so she is NOT the first woman, other than a goalie, to play for a mens league.
            When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.

              Wickenheiser is prettier...Cami Granato might be prettier...how would you like to center that line...Wickenheiser and Granato on the wings

              funny, they are better hockey players than their brothers...

                  Wickenheiser, maybe, but Tony Granato is a solid player.

                  BTW, I'd like to thank Les Habitants for selecting Doug Wickenheiser ahead of their own favorite son, Denis Savard.

                        I agree that Cammi Granato is cuter...but I can't find a picture of her...

                            Cammi Granato is prettier..

                              I'd rather be with C. Granato and H. Wickenheiser.
