Haley Wickenheiser is my hero because she is living my ultimate dream of becoming a professional hockey player. In some ways she inspires me to continue in playing the sport I have learned to love for the game. She has developed her hockey skills at a younger ages a little bit like I have in my first couple of years playing hockey
