My Take
Vicky Sunohara is the kind of athlete who built a sport rather than just played it. Three Olympic medals and a nickname like the Wayne Gretzky of women's hockey tell you the talent, but the trailblazer part is what stays with me. As a Japanese-Canadian woman in the early days of the women's game, she expanded the very idea of who belongs on the ice. I admire that she pivoted into coaching, handing the torch to the next generation at the university level. For me, legacy in sport is measured less by goals than by the doors you leave open, and Sunohara left plenty.
