12-Year-Old Female Hockey Player Suffers Stroke
If you’re going to play hockey for a living, you have to be pretty tough. Whether you’re taking a cross-check to the back of the dome, or laying out on the ice to block that slapshot, odds are playing hockey is going to hurt at some point. The sport just isn’t designed for the weak-willed.
Which is why I believe little Jamie Coyle’s dream is going to come true someday. The 12-year old from Rhode Island has wanted to be a hockey player ever since she was three years old when she insisted her mother buy her hockey skates instead of figure skates. Unfortunately, it’s going to be a while before Jamie plays hockey again, as she suffered a stroke on the ice almost three weeks ago.
