The 2002 Winter Olympics were hosted by Salt Lake City, Utah. Just four years previous, Women’s Hockey had become an official Olympics sport, at Nagano, Japan. There, the Canadian team had been favoured to win the gold. In a disappointing gold medal game, Canada lost to the USA. Now, heading into the 2002 Winter Games, they’re on a losing streak. What would it take for the Canadian women to bring home the gold?

Julie Chychota CM: Canadian Review of Materials

“Like the rest of the [Recordbooks] titles in the publisher’s online catalogue, WInning Gold demonstrates Lorimer’s commitment to publish Canadian content by Canadian writers for a Canadian audience…this compact 111-page book benefits from the author’s credibility and connections….All things considered, it’s clearly time to check the idea that hockey is a sport reserved for men.”
