Over the Boards : Lessons from the Ice

Wickenheiser, Hayley 1978-


The greatest women's hockey player of all time, Hayley Wickenheiser shares the lessons that won her four gold medals, and hard-earned wisdom distilled from moments when she fell short. There is no one in the world like Hayley Wickenheiser. Thirteen World Championship appearances, six 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 benefit from. Hayley gave the game everything she had. Now, 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 also a life of 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 didn't exist) to Olympic MVP (twice). She shares how becoming a parent made her a better athlete and how she learned to thrive under monumental pressure. But she doesn't stop at revealing the pillars to her tremendous success, Hayley 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, Hayley's practical advice, coaching and invaluable perspective inspires readers to never accept "that's not the way we do things" or "that hasn't 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.
