Cammie Granato
Cammi Granato was born into a family of four brothers and one sister. There was no telling in whose footsteps she would follow. Would her older sister lead her to dressing up and playing with dolls? Or would her three older brothers coerce her to fill their team rosters? By the age of four, Cammi had made her choice. She didn’t vocalize this decision, she merely followed her brothers path into the rough and tumble world of sports. Much to her sister’s dismay, Cammi was not cut out for fancy or frills.
Over the years Cammi excelled in any sport she played. Although she enjoyed them all, she had fallen in love with hockey. She recollects that she was born into the game! Many years later, she described hockey as the fabric of her family’s life.
In part due to her brother Tony’s NHL career and also because of her achievements on the ice, Cammi began drawing attention to the game of women’s hockey in the USA. During the 1990’s she had begun to spread the word through numerous media interviews. This time, Cammi didn’t need to choose a path between brother or sister. She didn’t need to vocalize her decision, it was as clear as day. She simply became a spokesperson for women’s hockey.
When the US Olympic Women’s Ice Hockey won gold in Nagano, the victory put the women;s game on the radar and inspired attention across the world. It became Cammi’s sincere endeavor to continue to do all she could to further the women’s game internationally. She remained the US team captain through the 2005 Women’s World Cup Tournament which marked the end of her career. In the following years, Cammi was honored to accept numerous awards world wide for her contribution to the sport.
