Yes Roque’s story was quite something, not to mention impressive she played boys hockey all the way through. Similar to a story about the MSU goalie I read last year - until she was ten or 11 years old she thought she was the only girl in the world that played hockey.
In my own case, I was a freshman in 2001, and didn’t do a recruiting trip. I don’t think I will ever forget my first captains practice. It was the first time I had ever seen or been on the ice with a group where every woman was talented, experienced, competitive etc. 98 Olympics were t really visible to me, as Canada got second, which influenced the media stories understandably. It blows my mind how much good women’s hockey my 5 year old has seen, 20 years later. Some of that is a function of where we live which further hammers home the point of how great something like the Country Classic is.
