Hazel McCallion began playing hockey in the late 1920s in Port Daniel on the Gaspé coast of Quebec. After moving to Montreal, McCallion turned 'professional,' earning $5 a game to play for Kik Cola, one of three teams in a ladies' league there, making her one of the first paid female players documented. Upon being elected mayor in 1978, Hazel McCallion spread her influence into other hockey‐related areas, including sitting on the board of the Ontario Women's Hockey Association (OWHA), obtaining ice time for girls' hockey and also grew hockey by bringing international tournaments and the men's Ontario Hockey League to Mississauga. McCallion was honoured in 1987 by the OWHA as they named the trophy for the first Women's World Championship (unsanctioned by the IIHF) the Hazel McCallion World Cup.
Or, Eva Ault began her playing career during the years of the First World War, joining the Ottawa Alerts in 1915. The consistent goal scorer was popularly known as the “Queen of the Ice.”
Or, Throughout the 1930s, Ranscombe led her Ladies Ontario Hockey Association team, the Preston Rivulettes (a baseball team that formed a hockey team), to 345 victories out of 350 games as well as six Dominion championships until WWII ended their dynasty. Her fame enabled the women's league to flourish in Ontario and for women's hockey to grow in popularity across the country.
