Sami-Jo Small

Sami-Jo Small became a household name when she backstopped the Canadian National Women’s hockey team to a gold medal at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.  As a mechanical engineering major at Stanford, Small designed special upper-body padding for her senior project.   She still wears her prototype when she plays.  She was named PAC-10 Hockey Player of the Year in 1997.  Small was the goaltender for the Brampton Thunder for two seasons and won Gold Medals at the World Championships in 1999, 2000 and 2001.  She currently plays for the Toronto Aeros.
