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.
ICYMI: Mariah @Fujimagoalie became the 1st woman in K-Wings franchise history to pick up a win between the pipes in the preseason! And the team's love is incredible!
PLEASE start Sunday off with a hug like Erik Bradford's for Mariah Fujimagari.

Fujimagari's Future in Hockey
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.
Do you think she'll play the whole season with the Wings?
