Famous Athletes
Meghan Agosta. Agosta led Canada to its third straight Olympic gold medal in 2010, scoring nine goals in five games while being named tournament MVP. She's also the NCAA career leader in goals scored, as she lit the lamp 157 times in three seasons at Mercyhurst University. Agosta earned a degree in criminal justice law enforcement and is currently an officer on the Vancouver police force. If you're in that area, think twice about jaywalking or pulling tags off mattresses.
Jennifer Botterill. Botterill holds the record for most goals and most assists per game in her two years at Harvard. She still holds the single-game record for most assists in a game, piling up seven on two different occasions. Botterill is also the only two-time winner of the Patty Kazmaier award, which is given to the top collegiate women's player.
Ken Dryden. Dryden dominated at Cornell, and lead his team to the 1967 NCAA championship. They lost only four games in two seasons there. He was equally successful in the pros, winning five Stanley Cups with Montreal. Dryden has penned several best-selling books, has a law degree, and served in Canada's Parliament for six years. Wow. We wouldn't be surprised if he's now working on a time machine.
Johnny Gaudreau. Gaudreau was 2014's Hobey Baker award winner after scoring 36 goals and leading Boston College to its second championship in three seasons. He went on to play for the NHL's Calgary Flames. Gaudreau stands only 5'8" and weighs just 159 pounds…but he's a huge talent. Obviously.
Brett Hull. Son of Hall of Fame forward Bobby Hull, Brett boasts 741 career NHL goals and he owns three of the top fifteen single-season goal totals in NHL history. He showed glimpses of this ability at U of Minnesota—Duluth: in 1986, Hull scored 52 goals in what is one of only eleven seasons with more than fifty goals at the Div-I level (source).
Caroline Ouellette. Ouellette is among the top ten all-time scorers in women's hockey and she was a vital part of UM Duluth's 2003 NCAA championship run. Ouellette is also one of three women to have won four Olympic gold medals as a member of Canada's national team. That's a lot of bling.
