Ottawa Women On Ice
Speaker: James Powell
Come hear James Powell from the Historical Society of Ottawa talk about the rise, fall, and rise again of women’s hockey in the capital. When Lady Isobel Stanley, the daughter of the Governor General, donned a pair of skates to play hockey in 1889, she stickhandled her way into the history books. With vice-regal support, women’s hockey flourished in Ottawa despite its supposed impropriety.
We will also hear about other great Ottawa skaters such as Barbara Ann Scott and Elizabeth Manley and watch some amazing footage of both of their premier performances. Help us to celebrate International Women’s Day at the OWCC as we remember these unforgettable accomplishments by women.
