When Gretchen Ulion began playing hockey as a youngster in the late 1970s in Marlborough, Connecticut, there were no women PJ Tucker Jersey Womens playing hockey for http://www.nuotex.com/kj-mcdaniels-jersey-c-1_17.html her to emulate.

But she was able to look toward the Hartford Civic Center, the Hartford Whalers and the legendary Hall of Famer Gordie Howe.

Later this month, Ulion will join Howe with a unique Connecticut honor. She will be one of five honorees to receive a Gold Key from the Connecticut Sports Writers’ Alliance on Sunday, April 29, at the Aqua Turf in Southington.

Ulion, now known as Gretchen Ulion-Silverman, played on the first U.S. Olympic women’s hockey team to win a gold medal in 1998. She will be honored along with former Michael Bennett Jersey Womens Granby Memorial field hockey coach Dot Johnson, PGA professional Dennis Coscina, New Canaan High football coach Lou Marinelli and retired Connecticut women’s soccer coach Len Tsantiris.

Regarded as the highest sports award in the state, the Gold Key has been presented to more than 200 men and women including Hall of Fame baseball manager Connie Mack (1940), boxer Willie Pep (1961), Hall of Fame basketball coaches Geno Auriemma (2001) and Jim Calhoun (2003), Rebecca Lobo (2004) and U.S. women’s soccer star Kristine Lilly (2012). Howe won a Gold Key in 1992.

Howe had already had a Hall of Authentic Daniel Sedin Jersey Fame career with the Detroit Red Wings in the NHL before coming out of retirement to play with his two sons, Mark and Marty in the World Hockey Association.

Gordie Howe played three years with the Whalers in Hartford with his sons. Two seasons were in the WHA. Nine years after retiring from Detroit and the Kyrie Irving Youth Jersey NHL, Gordie played his final professional season in 1979-80 with the Whalers in the NHL. At the age of 52, Gordie scored 15 goals and had 26 assists in 80 games.

Ulion-Silverman capped off her hockey career with a gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics in http://www.wimbis.com/jordan-bell-jersey-c-1_24.html Japan with a goal and an assist in the 3-1 gold medal victory over Canada. It was the first time that women’s hockey had been played at the Olympic Games.

“To receive this honor and see that Gordie Howe is on this list is really special,” Ulion-Silverman said. “Growing up I was a Hartford Whalers fan, of course and I would go to Hartford Whalers games and tell everyone I was going to be a Hartford Whaler not knowing that was a totally unrealistic goal.” She smiled.

“Gordie Howe used to come to our youth hockey practices and just show up because he loved hockey so much,” Ulion-Silverman said. “To see his name on that (Gold Key) list is especially exciting and meaningful for me. I really looked up to him my entire life.”

Ulion-Silverman played at Loomis Chaffee in Windsor and went onto skate at Dartmouth where she graduated with the school records for most goals (189) and points (312) in a career and the most goals in a single season (49) in 1991 and 1994. Those records still stand today. She also was a two-time Ivy League player of the year.

She made the national team in 1994 and won silver medals with the Americans at the 1994 and 1997 world championships. Ulion-Silverman earned a spot on the 1998 U.S. Olympic team. In Nagano, she scored three goals and had five assists in six games.

She was the first player to score a goal in a http://www.authenticmapleleafsproshop.com/23-brooks-laich-jersey-c-1_29.html women’s hockey Olympic final. Her second period goal gave the Americans a 1-0 lead over Canada and she had a key assist on Sandra Whyte’s goal that gave the U.S. a two-goal advantage.

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators! Whether you're a Property Investor, First Home Buyer (FHB) or you're a happily renting tenant, this forum has something for everyone.
