Yesterday, Mariah Fujimagari and the Kalamazoo Wings, the Canucks' ECHL affiliate, won a preseason game. She has become the first female goaltender in the team's history to secure such a victory.
Currently on a PTO with the Wings, the ECHL associate team of the Canucks, Fujimagari has showcased remarkable skills. Should she maintain her winning streak, the possibility of a professional contract with the Wings is on the horizon – a revolutionary moment for ice hockey.
Having played in various countries like Slovakia and Sweden, if Fujimagari secures a position in the ECHL, this 29-year-old from Ontario might get the opportunity to play nearer to her hometown.
