As a little girl in Winnipeg, Cindy Klassen’s dream is to become a world class hockey player. By 18, her sights are firmly set on Nagano Japan, with the Olympic debut of women’s hockey.

From getting lapped by 5-year-olds to shattering Olympic records four years later, find out how Cindy Klassen followed her dreams with all her heart, to become one of Canada’s most decorated Olympians.
