CTV
From street hockey at four years old to Women's Hockey Olympic gold, Central Saanich's Micah Zandee-Hart shares her story about making her way to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
"I think I was sure that I would have this in my hand at one point in my life," said Zandee-Hart.
It’s a career highlight for any athlete, winning a gold medal in the Olympics.
"I was so sure of it as a kid," she said.
For the 25-year-old, it all started when she was four years old, in a quiet cul-de-sac in Central Saanich.
"I was playing street hockey out in front of my house with my brother," said Zandee-Hart.
She then learned to skate and joined a team with the Peninsula Minor Hockey Association.
"I played boys growing up because that was what was offered close to me," said the Olympic medal winner.
She excelled and continued to make rep teams. She was then given the opportunity to play on a few women’s teams on the mainland.
