Jennifer Botterill ’02-’03’s career with the Canadian national women’s hockey team left nothing to be desired. After earning three Olympic gold medals, five world championships, and two world championship MVP awards, the Winnipeg, Manitoba native announced her retirement from the national team on Monday, March 14.
“I feel like I’ve been fortunate enough to play at the elite level for quite some time,” Botterill says. “I’m at a stage in my life where I’m looking forward to some other things as well. It just felt right for me.”
Botterill’s Olympic career came to a fitting conclusion on Feb. 25, 2010 when she assisted on Marie-Philip Poulin’s gold-medal winning goal.
