When
Nancy Burggraf whistled, players skated to attention. Big
players. Players with face masks and hockey sticks.
She
has been called a hockey “guru” and “icon” by USA Today
and was the first woman nominated to the United States Hockey
Hall of Fame. During five decades she touched the lives of
more than 40,000 hockey players through her unique skating
skills clinics. She taught some of the best in the National
Hockey League and was able to meet and connect with her players
on a personal level.
Power
& Stride is the inspiring story of a woman from Roseau,
Minnesota, who succeeded in a male-dominated world and changed
the game of hockey forever. Those who knew Nancy treasure
her for what she taught them, and they continue to pass on
her legacy.
