Hockey

22 mins

The players on the Toronto Women's Hockey Team are as gutsy, skilled and competitive as any of their male counterparts. But what they really need is to score is a winning name. With goaltender Sami Jo Small as our guide, we stickhandle our way through the history of team names - from the fierce (Vancouver Amazons) to the tame (Prairie Lillies) to the really bad idea (The Fernie Swastikas?). Sami Jo gets no-nonsense advice from one of the most powerful figures in men's hockey, Brian Burke, boss of the Toronto Maple Leafs. And the Rt. Honourable Adrienne Clarkson - for whom the women's Clarkson Cup was named - offers witty insights into women, hockey and why the two were meant to come together. She shoots, she scores. The trick is to find just the right name that will do these gals proud.
