Sarah Vaillancourt ’08-’09 learned how to skate at the
age of two. At 12, Vaillancourt already knew she wanted to play ice
hockey for her home country of Canada in the Olympics some day.
Twelve years later, she achieved her dream, taking home a gold
medal in the 2006 Winter Games in Torino, Italy, and is now poised
for a second victory in Vancouver.
Hockey was a natural choice for Vaillancourt. Her father and
brother both play, and her early commitment to the sport paid off.
By age 18, after a decorated varsity career at Pomfret Prep School,
she was already wearing her own Team Canada jersey to compete in
the 2003 Nations Cup.
