Not only is Wickenheiser one of the most successful women’s hockey players of all time, but one of the greatest Olympians ever. A four-time Olympic gold medalist for Team Canada, the Hockey Hall of Famer also became the Assistant Director of Player Development with the Toronto Maple Leafs. She was in her final year of medical school when the coronavirus pandemic hit. Wickenheiser reportedly offered emergency help during the early days of the crisis and has played a prominent role in the distribution of Personal Protective Equipment.
