Born in 1964 | Internationally Renowned Hockey Player
Angela James, known as the “Wayne Gretzky of women’s hockey,” dominated the ice during the 1980s and 1990s. Leading the Canadian women’s hockey team to four World Championships (1990, 1992, 1994, and 1997), she earned a spot in the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame, one of the first three women inducted. In 2010, James achieved groundbreaking recognition as one of the first two women, the first openly gay player, and the second Black athlete inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
