US Women's Hockey Daily Threesome

Sochi is just over a month away and most people are unprepared for the US Women's hockey team's impending domination of the rest of the world. Lately the laced up ladies have been beating the crap out of Canada up in North Dakota, and it has been fierce... 




So i'm going to do my part and give you all a daily threesome of the who's who on the roster. By the time Sochi comes around you'll know so much about the team you may actually watch a game. Starting with the stone cold broads in between the pipes I introduce you to to Molly Schaus.


Height: 5’9”                       
Weight: 156                 
Catches: Left   

Goals Scored on Opposing Goalies while in Net: 5             
Birthdate: 7/29/88
Hometown: Natick, Mass.
Most Recent Team:
Boston Blades 
College Team:
Boston College 


Molly is the quintessential female hockey player. Raised in Minnesota with two older brother. She was a figure skater but her brothers forced her to play goalie on their back pond after watching the 1980 men's olympics team stomp all over CCCP. Little did they know she'd end up being a top goaltender representing me, you, and the red white and blue. 

Next in goal, Jessica (the gals call her Jessie) Vetter.

Height: 5’8” 

Weight: 155 

Catches: Left

Fighting Majors: 24
Birthdate: 12/19/85
Hometown: Cottage Grove, Wis.
Most Recent Team:
Oregon Outlaws 
College Team:
University of Wisconsin

Anybody born in a place called Cottage Grove, Wisconsin has to be a hockey player. And if you happen to be Jessie Vetter, you become the starting goalie on the boys hockey team. She also won three state championships playing soccer where i'm pretty sure she was just keeping her legs loose waiting for the hockey season to start back up again. 

Last in goal, but of course not least Brianne McLaughlin. 


Height: 5’8” (174)
Weight: 130 (59)
Shoots: Left
Saves: Everything
Birthdate: 6/20/87
Hometown: Sheffield, Ohio
Most Recent Team:
Burlington Barracudas (CWHL)
College Team:
Robert Morris University (CHA)

Hailing from Sheffield, Ohio Brianne McLaughlin is your all american women's goaltender. According to Wikipedia, unlike most biographies on the site she did not have an early life. She was born in 1987 and then began her playing hockey career in 2001 at Elyria High School where she also played softball, basketball, volleyball, and ran track. I don't know how thats possible unless Bradley Cooper gave her some NZT.
