It proceeds to relate how Angela, recently named the world's best player by Hockey News , and the sport of women's ice hockey have matured and grown in recent years. Angela helped blaze a trail by refusing to take no for an answer and always insisting that if she were among the best players on the team, even when most of the players were boys, then she should be on that team and receive her fair share of playing time. Also a successful student and an advocate for women's sports and the less fortunate of the world, Angela inspiringly shows girls and young women the path to realizing their dreams and goals. Quotes“The number one female hockey player in the world.” —Hockey News
“Angela is a very talented and accomplished competitor. She has an inner drive that sets her apart from her peers. What really distinguishes Angela from others, however, is her hunger to be a well-rounded citizen of the world and a genuine humanitarian.” — Katey Stone, Head Coach, Harvard
University Women's Ice Hockey “I remember Angela's first shift as a member of Team USA-her smile was so big you could have seen it from the top row of the stadium. She has grown so much over the years and has become the most dominant player in the world. Her energy as a person makes people around her smile. She is a great leader, an awesome teammate and a dear friend.” — Cammi Granato, Team USA, Women's
