Hockey: First Woman Elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame
Cammi Granato, former member of the Providence College Women's Hockey Team, was the first woman elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Granato was the ECAC Player of the Year three consecutive seasons from 1991-93. She then played in Canada for the Concordia Stingers, where she helped her team to three Quebec titles. Granato was a 15-year member of the U.S. Women's National Team beginning in 1990 and also led Team USA to the gold medal in the 1998 Winter Olympics.
When inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame Granato stated, "I dreamed of being in the NHL my entire life and this certainly makes up for those dreams. Being amongst the first women to play at college and later at the Olympics, it certainly was worthwhile being a hockey pioneer."
