From the outdoor rinks of Sudbury to the heights of Olympic glory, Tessa Bonhomme has lived nearly every chapter of a hockey dream—and she’s still writing new ones.
In this powerful episode of Our Girls Play Hockey, Tessa joins Lee, Sherri, and Mike for a heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply insightful conversation about the journey from “just wanting to play” to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in hockey.
Tessa opens up about:
- Her path from a neighborhood daycare game to captaining Team Canada
- The moment being cut sparked her fire to chase national team dreams
- The power of representation—and the female role model who changed everything
- Her transition into broadcasting and how it mirrors life in a locker room
- What today’s youth coaches and parents can do to actually grow the women’s game
Plus: stories of pranks, parents with guitars, being a “grocery stick,” and why just turning on the game might be the biggest step forward we can all take.
This episode is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and love for the game. Whether you’re a parent, player, coach, or fan—don’t miss it.
