Three-time Olympic gold medallist and five-time IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Champion goaltender Kim St-Pierre may have been just as pumped in June 2010, when the first two women were announced as Hockey Hall of Fame inductees, as the Canadian goaltender was a decade later – June 2020 – when she herself received that same infamous “call to the hall.”
“When women first entered the Hall of Fame in 2010, I was so excited to see that finally the (female) sport was being recognized at that level,” St-Pierre gushed of Canadian women’s hockey legend Angela James and American equivalent Cammi Granato, who were those first two female players to smash through that massive gender barrier.
