Hayley Wickenheiser is an incredible human being . . . this is what a billion hours of hard work looks like.
Ryan Reynolds
The greatest womens hockey player of all time, Hayley Wickenheiser shares the lessons that won her four Olympic gold medals, and hard-earned wisdom distilled from moments when she fell short.
There is no one in the world like Hayley Wickenheiser.
13 World Championship appearances. 6 Olympic Games. Hockey Hall of Famer. All while raising a child, earning multiple university degrees, and not benefiting from the financial stability male professional athletes have. She gave the game everything she hadnow, Hayley shares what the game gave her.
From motherhood to pro leagues to her new career in medicine, Hayley shares the hard-won lessons she learned on and off the ice that helped her not only have a record-breaking hockey career but craft a life filled with joy, growth, and challenges. In her own words, Hayley shares how she rose from the backyard pond and changing in boiler rooms (because girls dressing rooms didnt exist) to Olympic MVP (twice). How becoming a parent made her a better athlete. How she learned to thrive under monumental pressure. But she doesnt stop at revealing the pillars to her tremendous successHayley delves into her immense failures and how she grew from them. Like Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady, and Abby Wambach before her, Hayley shares her wisdom through personal stories of triumph, relentlessness, and more than a couple confrontations. Told with humour, compassion, and steadfast optimism, Hayleys practical advice, coaching, and invaluable perspective inspires readers to never accept thats not the way we do things or that hasnt been done before as limitations. An empowering and pragmatic guide, Hayley encourages readers to not follow in her footsteps, but to carve their own ice.

To my mom and dad, who taught us that a girl can do anything that a boy can do
Its been a long time since I was a rookie.
When people hear my name, the first thing they think is hockey. For more than 30 years, the game was my life. What most people dont know is that I held another dream for almost as long as I was a hockey player. Since I was a kid, I dreamed of being a doctor.
Which is how, after 23 years with Team Canada and six Olympics, I found myself back as a rookie, this time in medicine.
I didnt start med school until after I had retired from playing in 2017, but my transition had been in the works since 2010. My first real exposure to what life was like for physicians came thanks to the game, actually. When I was playing, I had a tough time sleeping after gamesespecially if we had lost or played poorly. Instead of tossing and turning for hours, I started spending those sleepless nights shadowing one of my friends, an emergency room doctor. She let me watch quietly from the back corners of the trauma bay, silently taking it all in. Over six years, I spent hundreds of nighttime hours watching trauma teams work on patients, as I slowly chipped away at my undergrad and masters degrees and continued playing during my days.
It became clear pretty quickly that medicine was the right fit for me. I usually entered the hospital preoccupied but always left the ER feeling light and happy. It sounds strangethat spending hours watching horrible injuries and medical emergencies being treated would have a calming or uplifting effect on mebut what I observed in hospital gave me perspective on the world beyond hockey. No injury, pressure-filled game, or conflict I ever went through on Team Canada was remotely comparable to the awful tragedies I witnessed in the ER. It was a huge reality check: all the day-to-day problems that had taken up residence in my mind no longer felt so huge. And all those hours watching medical staff help people made me excited for what my life could hold after my retirement from the game.
My first day as a med student dawned bright and sunnya perfect, late summer day. The doctor Id been shadowing invited me to spend a few hours with her in the ER. She wanted to celebrate my entrance to med school. Id finally made it. This time, I wouldnt be shadowing. Now that Id been admitted, being an official med student meant that I held insurance and could assist in treating patients under the supervision of a licensed physician. Id already had some basic first aid training and was CPR certified. It was hard to believe that my dream, so long in the making, was finally coming true. I was excited. I was also anxious about what was coming down the pike: the exams, the stress, the unknown.
Because Id spent so much time in the ER already, I felt fairly confident going in as a medical student for the first time. All my exposure to the trauma room had familiarized me with hospital codes, doctor shorthand, and medical lingo. Id watched teams leap into action over and over. I was comfortable with the pace. Or so I thought.
A few minutes into the shift, we received a call that a patient was on their way. It was a suspected drug overdose. Firefighters had been working on a young man for 30 minutes already. They werent sure how long he had been down before they arrived.
My supervising physician turned to me: You are performing CPR. No easing me in; Id be jumping headfirst into this hands-on experience. Gown, gloves, mask on. He will be here in five minuteslets go!
