Extractions: A.J. Mleczko made history at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan by helping the U.S. Women's ice hockey team to an historic, first-ever Olympic Gold medal. A.J.'s scoring touch and dominating face-off ability were key elements in Team USA's undefeated run to Olympic Gold. One year later, A.J. made history again winning the Patty Kazmaier College Player of the Year Award and graduating cum laude from Harvard University. At the age of six, intrigued by the hockey teams coached by her father, A.J. traded in her figure skates and dresses for hockey skates and hand-me-down equipment. She quickly excelled despite carrying the burden of often being the only girl on all-boys' teams. In 1993, A.J. joined her older sister, Wink, on the Harvard women's ice hockey team, where her career was nothing short of legendary. By her junior year, A.J. was Harvard's all-time leading goal scorer. After her junior season, A.J. faced the most difficult decision of her young life. With one year remaining at Harvard, A.J. was also two years away from the debut of women's ice hockey in the Olympic Games. Despite being a collegiate star and a member of the National Team since 1995, A.J.'s place on the Olympic team was not guaranteed. National Team Coach Ben Smith challenged A.J. and other prospective Olympians who were still in college to devote themselves full time to hockey. For A.J., giving up her final year at Harvard, prolonging student loans, and putting her entire life on hold to chase a dream with no guarantee of even making the Olympic team was a daunting prospect.

As punishment for their roles in WW2, Japan and Germany's absence from Olympic ceremony would continue into the 1948 games in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Twenty-eight countries participated enthusiastically, and it was clear that the games had survived both the world's conflicts, and the 12-year span between the last Olympics. The IOC awarded the 1976 Olympics to Denver, Colorado, but after two years of preparation and financial squabbling, the people of Colorado refused to fund the major event through public taxes. Innsbruck offered to host the Winter Olympics only twelve years since it last played the role, and the underplayed event went off peacefully and without excessive spending.

Now, the tall 14-year-old plays on an elite team, the Connecticut Polar Bears, and dreams of skating for the US Olympic team. "Hockey's my life," she says after a game. This winter, at rinks across the nation, it's increasingly common to see other Kati Vaughns with pony tails sprouting out of helmets. There are now goalie schools for girls and at least one academy in Vermont whose main aim is preparing girls to play college hockey. Some high schools are now adding girls hockey to their list of varsity sports and universities are recruiting the best players with full scholarships. Yes, instead of donning tights and trying double axels, young girls are learning how to sprint down the ice after a frozen piece of rubber. A sport, best known for its National Hockey League fisticuffs, is now attracting girls and women who love the competitive rush.

Fifteen of its 26 members later became clergymen.
