Vicky Sunohara, 2-time Olympic champion and 7-time World champion, was called racist names. Her grandparents experienced racism and her dad was in internment camps in BC. “We have come a long way since then, but we have a long way to go. ...hard work and success sometimes isn’t enough.” Join the conversation on Anti-Asian Racism June10-11, 2021.

My favourite CWHL memory comes from when it was still a very new league and the teams were named after the female minor hockey associations in the cities they played in. I remember seeing people who were my hockey heroes such as Vicky Sunohara, Cheryl Pounder, Jayna Hefford, and countless others. They came to the rink I played out of (we didn't have a CWHL team) to grow the game, some of my teammates hadn't heard of these players but learned about the league and we're shown that there's a place for women to play at a high level after school.
In her national team playing career spanning from 1990 - 2008, Vicky Sunohara of Team Canada won 15 Gold and 3 Silver medals in international competition.
