Natalie Spooner
Following an NCAA career at Ohio State University, Natalie was drafted into the burgeoning CWHL in 2012 by her hometown team, the Toronto Furies, and refocused on her big goals – winning the CWHL's Clarkson Cup and capturing gold for Canada in Sochi 2014.
Returning home with an Olympic gold medal, Natalie laced up for the Toronto Furies and scored the only goal in the shootout to become the first woman to win both the CWHL's Clarkson Cup and the Olympics in the same year. At the 2015 IIHF World Championship, Natalie re-affirmed her status as Canada's most talented offensive player scoring a TSN-Highlight-of-the-Night goal in against Finland, leading the team in goals and points and taking home the honours for IIHF Best Forward.
In Beijing 2022, she'll be expected to lead a young core that's working to the reclaim Olympic gold against Team USA in a competition that's become so fierce and fated that it's simply known as The Rivalry.
