In 2010 veteran broadcaster Lisa Bowes was rinkside at Vancouver’s Canada Hockey Place when Marie-Philip Poulin scored twice to lead the Canadians to their third consecutive Olympic gold medal.
Eight years later, Bowes is encouraging children, especially young girls, to stay active and pursue their dreams of perhaps following in the footsteps of Poulin and other hockey heroines.
Her latest book “Lucy Tries Hockey” is the fourth installment in the Lucy Tries Sports series. The publication features the introduction of a young red-headed girl named Lucy to Canada’s national winter sport. In previous installments, Lucy has tried soccer, luge and short-track speedskating.
