<p>I guess she must have had a heckuva hook -shot to get in. :)</p>
<p>"TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Angela Ruggiero became the first woman to make more than a token appearance at a position other than goalie in a U.S. men's professional hockey game, playing defense and getting an assist Friday night for the Tulsa Oilers....
Two-time Olympian Ruggiero and her brother, Bill, the goaltender for the Oilers, made hockey history as well as the first brother and sister to play together in a North American pro game....
The 25-year-old skater, who won gold and silver medals as a member of the 1998 and 2002 U.S. Women's Olympic teams, was the second woman to play in the league.
....At 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, Ruggiero is known for doling out punishment in women's games, holding Harvard's single-season record for penalty minutes at 74..."</p>
<p>I was curious about what else she did in Harvard, and found this:

<p>The sport of ice hockey has taken Harvard's Angela Ruggiero all around the world. That can happen when you are one of the best players on the planet, with two Olympic medals and the Patty Kazmaier Award to prove it.</p>
<p>But those travels have been mostly well away from the equator... until her current mission which will include spending the month of July in Uganda with Right To Play, an international human rights organization....</p>
<p>The program has two components. The first is the trip, designed to help develop health and recreation programs for urban slums and refugee camps in Africa. The second component is to spread the word about volunteerism by delivering presentations about the project to school and community groups.</p>
<p>Community service is certainly not new for Ruggiero. As an undergraduate at Harvard, she not only worked with Right To Play, but she was the co-chair of the Harvard Radcliffe Foundation for Womens Athletics, a volunteer at King Elementary School and an active member of the Womens Leadership Project, Student Athlete Advisory Committee and Womens Sports Foundation.."<a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/hockey/nhl/01/29/bc.hko.ruggiero.men.sga.ap/index.html?cnn=yes">http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/hockey/nhl/01/29/bc.hko.ruggiero.men.sga.ap/index.html?cnn=yes</a></p>
