	The Gazette \| Hayley Wickenheiser
		Wickenheiser has determination, persistence, hard work, focus and talent on her side; the odds are led by tradition, and it is widely rumoured that bias and sexism may be in play as well.
		Wickenheiser had a promising pre-game warm-up; born on Aug. 12, 1978, in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, she took to ice skates at the age of three.
		The first period closes coming on to the 20-year mark when Hayley Wickenheiser is handed the first of two invitations to attend the Philadelphia Flyers’ rookie camp in 1998.

	Hayley Wickenheiser Speaker Profile at The Lavin Agency
		Named the MVP and assistant captain of Canada's gold medal-winning team at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Wickenheiser is strong and skilled; a natural with a lethal slap shot, and rightfully described as the greatest female hockey player in the world.
		On January 11, 2003, Wickenheiser took an enormous step forward in her on-ice career when she skated into history as the first female hockey player to notch a point in a men's professional game.
		A former member of the Edmonton Chimos and Oval X-Treme, both members of the National Women's Hockey League, Wickenheiser clearly outshined the competition and was ready to compete in the men's professional ranks.

	TIME: Call Her Mozart
		Wickenheiser could still improve her touch around the net, but she has a champion's grasp of the rest of the game, including some of its darker arts.
		Even in her adolescence Wickenheiser had a sweet hesitation move in the offensive zone, a Gretzky-like curl, one stride across the blue line that was so unusual in women's hockey most teammates couldn't read it and would barge for the net instead of hanging back for a pass.
		Wickenheiser, though, plays well enough as a pianist that after Canada's overtime win against the U.S. at the world championships in Kitchener, Ont., last year, she plopped a fedora on her head, stuck a cigar in her mouth and pounded out show tunes at the team party.
