Summary
Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, who scored the Gold Medal winning goal for Team USA at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, is Craig's guest this week on the Full 60.
Jocelyne discusses her book Dare to Make History: Chasing a Dream and Fighting for Equity which she co-wrote with her twin sister, and fellow Olympic champion Monique. Lamoureux-Davidson talks about the continued fight against discrimination and gender equity for women in hockey.
Jocelyne shares with Craig the 2017 landmark decision by the US Women's team, taking on their governing body, USA Hockey when they threatened to boycott the 2017 World Championships unless their gender equity issues were addressed. Jocelyne talks about growing up in North Dakota and playing hockey on the pond with her sister and her four brothers, the impact that coach Gordie Stafford, had on the girls, inexplicably almost not making the Olympic team. And of course, Jocelyne takes us through the famed winning goal in the shootout vs Canada at the 2018 Olympics.
Plus Craig adds his two cents on the controversy in the NHL, after the league dismissed referee Tim Peel after a hot mic incident in the game between Detroit and Nashville on Tuesday night.
