About this listen

A three-time Olympic medalist shares behind-the-scenes insight into the beloved Canadian National Women's Hockey Team.

Men's hockey in Canada may hog the limelight, but interest in women's hockey has never been higher. The Role I Played is a memoir of Sami Jo Small's 10 years with Canada's National Women's Hockey Team. Beginning with her experience as a rookie at the first-ever women's Olympic hockey tournament in Nagano in 1998 and culminating with Canada's third straight Olympic gold medal in Vancouver in 2010, the veteran goaltender gives the listener behind-the-scenes insight into one of the most successful teams in sports history.

Small offers insider access, writing with unflinching honesty about the triumphs of her greatest games and the anguish of difficult times. This book honors the individuals who sacrificed so much of their lives to represent Canada on a world stage and celebrates their individual contributions to the team's glory. While bringing the personalities of her teammates to life, Small takes the listener into the dressing rooms and onto the ice for an up-close glimpse into the ups and downs of athletes pursuing a sport's highest achievement.

This answered a lot of questions I had and things I never thought to ask. History, battles, acceptance and finding the positives and accomplishments along the way. Sami Jo helped build the game in ways I never realized.

One star deducted for the way the narrator repeatedly pronounced toque as “toke”. Otherwise a good listen.
