Geraldine
Heaney

Arguably the best offensive blueliner in Canadian women's hockey history, Geraldine Heaney was a member of six World Championship-winning squads. In both 1992 and 1994 she was named the Best Defenseman at the Women's World Championship, an honour that she also garnered at the Pacific Rim Championships in 1996. Heaney collected six points (two goals and four assists) to rank fourth in scoring for Canada at the 1998 Winter Olympics and was instrumental in Canada's Olympic gold-medal victory in 2002. When she retired later that year, Heaney ranked second behind Cammi Granato in career assists at the Women's Worlds with 28.

A fitness fanatic and an all-around athlete, Heaney is considered one of the top female in-line hockey players in the world. She also has a standing invitation to try out for Northern Ireland's national women's soccer team.

In 2008 Heaney joined Cammi Granato and Angela James as the first women to be inducted into the International Ice Hockey Hall of Fame.
