Angela James

This women’s hockey pioneer is often called the “Wayne Gretzky of women’s hockey.” Angela James earned the nickname after scoring a stunning 50 goals and 73 points in just 14 games during a season at Seneca College.  She made an international mark too, helping lead Canada to gold four times at the Women’s World Championship. In 2010, James became one of first two women, the first openly gay player, and only the second Black athlete ever to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame
