In today’s episode of SPORTS + LIFE + BALANCE, John Moffet is joined by Sami Jo Small, a Canadian Olympic gold medal-winning goaltender and 4x world champion.  

Sami Jo shares the story of the first time she ever played on an all-women hockey team leading up to the 1998 Nagano Olympic games. She went on to make two more Olympic teams, won four world championships, and had a long career as a pro, both as a player and manager. 

Sami Jo's story is also filled with personal struggles and heartbreaks… and just like in life, it’s how we deal with that adversity that counts the most.
