New International Biographies Added

With the Olympics coming ever so soon, I've been busy beefing up my international biography section, both on the men's and women's side. Here's my newest profiles:

Kathryn Waldo - She became a legend at Northeastern University despite a life long battle with cystic fibrosis.

Vicky Sunohara - one of women's hockey's all time greats. She should be one of the first 5 female players inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Chanda Gunn - overcame incredible odds by battling epilepsy while backstopping the American national team.

Shelley Looney - She scored the game winning goal in the 1998 Olympic gold medal game.

Jim Sedin - No, he's not related to Daniel and Henrik, but like the Swedish twin sensations he too has an Olympic gold medal - with Team USA.

Teiji Honma - In 1936 this Japanese goalie became the first goalie to wear a mask in Olympic competition - 23 years before Jacques Plante first wore his mask.

Monte Afzelius - Monte was the first Swede to play hockey in North America, although he may have embellished just how far he made it.
