July 27, 2006 - (Team Press Release) She’s put her name in the hockey record books, and now Angela Ruggiero wants to put her name in your book. Ruggiero will be at the Barnes & Noble location at 41st and Yale in Tulsa on Friday August 4th at 7 p.m, signing copies of her book, Breaking the Ice: My Journey to Olympic Hockey, the Ivy League & Beyond.

A winner of a gold, silver and bronze medal as a member of the U.S. Women’s Olympic hockey team, Ruggiero is widely regarded as one of the top women hockey players in the world. In addition to appearing in the Olympic games in 1998, 2002, and 2006, Ruggiero has represented the U.S. in a number of other international hockey competitions.

She made her mark on the Tulsa hockey scene on January 28, 2005. Not only did she suit up for the Tulsa Oilers, becoming the first woman non-goaltender to take a regular shift in a men’s professional league in North America, she also registered an assist in the game. She’s the only woman with a point in men’s pro hockey in North America.

Her Tulsa experience is prominently featured in her book. Ruggiero was also the winner of an on line vote to be the Olympic athlete represented on the NBC show The Apprentice. Those episodes begin airing in January of 2007.
