In Gold Medal Diary, Hayley Wickenheiser— the most decorated female hockey player in the game— intimately recounts her day-to-day experience of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. At the heart of the book are Wickenheiser’s revelations about the life of an Olympian— the behind-the-scenes stories, the physical and emotional challenges, and the struggles, disappointments, and successes of an elite athlete. Her stories are enhanced by more than thirty candid photos.
“Gold Medal Diary is everything a devout follower of Canadian women’s hockey needs to get a taste of Olympic fever. Wickenheiser, arguably the world’s foremost female hockey player, has enough medals, honours and accolades to fill several suitcases, but there’s nothing ‘been there, done that’ about this diary. Wickenheiser’s enthusiasm and commitment come through on every page.” -Herizons
“Hayley Wickenheiser’s memories are more than just an array of hockey games, shifts good and bad and practices filled with the drudgery of constant drills. Wickenheiser is more than just a hockey player, and that’s a good thing, because her complicated life outside the rink is more fascinating.” -Winnipeg Free Press
