| A legendary name among Canadian women's hockey, the decision to leave Angela James off the roster of the 1998 Olympic Team was as controversial as the decision to leave Mark Messier off the men's team. James had been a member of Canada's champion teams at each of the previous four Women's World Championships.
James was Canada's leading scorer with 11 goals at the 1990 Women's World Championship and was an All-Star forward at the 1992 event. She had also been a top Canadian scoring threat at the 1994 and 1997 World Championships and represented her country at the Pacific Rim Championship in 1996. |
