A League of Her Own

Sarah Nurse has won gold, inspired her own Barbie doll and earned a fan in Drake. Now, she faces her biggest test: bringing glory to the Professional Women's Hockey League

A League of Her Own

You tallied a whopping five goals and 13 assists en route to winning gold at the 2022 Olympics. What were those two weeks like?

Beijing brought up mixed emotions. It was during the pandemic, and I was coming off a knee injury, so being able to hit the ice was exciting. I just wanted to play and be free.

Where's that gold medal now?

I bring it out when I'm meeting kids or if I'm with family who haven't seen it yet. Otherwise, it's in my sock drawer.

You're now the face of the new PWHL. Any reason to think this league will survive longer than its predecessors?

The landscape of women's hockey used to be very confusing: too many leagues and not enough funding. The PWHL features six teams-three in Canada, three in the US-meaning there's now a single place for the best women's hockey. We won't have to compete with other women's leagues for media or marketing.

Billie Jean King is also a board member. That's a huge vote of confidence.
