Hayley WickenheiserOC (born August 12, 1978) is a Canadian former ice hockey player, resident physician[2] and assistant general manager for the Toronto Maple Leafs.[3] She was the first woman to play full-time professional men’s hockey in a position other than goalie. Wickenheiser was a member of Canada women's national ice hockey team for 23 years, from 1994 until announcing her retirement on January 13, 2017, and is the team's career points leader with 168 goals and 211 assists in 276 games.[4] She represented Canada at the Winter Olympics five times, capturing four gold and one silver medal and twice being named tournament MVP, and one time at the Summer Olympics in softball, and is a seven-time winner of the world championships. She is tied with teammates Caroline Ouellette and Jayna Hefford for the record for the most gold medals of any Canadian Olympian, and is widely considered to be the greatest female ice hockey player of all time.[5][6] On February 20, 2014, Wickenheiser was elected to the International Olympic Committee's Athletes' Commission.[7] In 2019, she was named to the Hockey Hall of Fame, in her first year of eligibility.[8] She was also inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2019, and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.
