sarah's story
Sarah Nurse (born January 4, 1995) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player and alternate captain for the Vancouver Goldeneyes of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) and Canada women's national ice hockey team. Nurse won Olympic gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics—where she broke the single-tournament Olympic point record with 18 and became the first Black woman to win a gold medal in Olympic ice-hockey—and silver at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
She has competed in six IIHF World Women's Championships, securing three golds (2021, 2022, 2024), two silvers (2023, 2025), and one bronze (2019). After a standout college career with the Wisconsin Badgers, featuring four Frozen Four appearances, she played one season with the Toronto Furies of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL).
Nurse co-founded the Professional Women's Hockey Players Association (PWHPA), serving on its board, and later joined the PWHL's executive committee for the PWHL Players Association (PWHLPA) upon the PWHL's 2023 launch.
