Cathy Phillips (born August 7, 1960 in Burlington, Ontario) was a Canadian ice hockey player. She was a goaltender in the Central Ontario Women's Hockey League. ==Life== Cathy attended Burlington Central High School from 1974 to 1979 where she participated in both basketball and track and field. However, her primary interest in athletics was playing ice hockey and fastball for the local Burlington community teams. She quickly rose through the ranks achieving many honours and M.V.P. awards along the way. Although she competed in two national fastball titles, her greatest accomplishments were as a goalie in ice hockey. Beginning in 1982, and for the next 7 years she would compete in the women’s Canadian National Championships, earning 4 golds, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals. In 1987, and again in 1990, Cathy had the honour of goaltending the Canadian team to 2 World Championships, and was in goal for both final games victories. Two months following the last World Championship victory, Cathy was diagnosed with a brain tumor thus ending her playing career quite abruptly. Cathy battled back from her illness and spent many years coaching at various levels throughout the world of international women’s ice hockey. She continues to volunteer and speak at local, national, and international venues, all in the interest of spreading the popularity of women's hockey around the world. Cathy continues to play as a goalie at the recreational level today. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cathy Phillips」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
