Sarah Ayres On Emergency Passports | Travel Cast Highlights

Описание: Sarah Ayres and her husband David Ayres forever had their lives change February 23, 2020, when David was thrust into the spotlight as an emergency backup goaltender for the Carolina Hurricanes against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Not only did the Hurricanes defeat the Leafs, but it registered an NHL win for David and forever cemented his legacy in NHL History. Zamboni driver turned backup goalie; this is a story for the books. Mercedes Nicoll and I wanted to talk to Sarah about HER experience during all the madness, including the struggle she went through when getting an emergency passport.

Sarah Ayres is a business owner, mum, and hockey wife with an undying passion for sports.

Mercedes Nicoll had a standout performance in her second Olympic Games at Vancouver 2010 where she posted the second-best Olympic result ever by a Canadian halfpipe snowboarder (male or female) when she finished sixth. During a training run at Sochi 2014, she fell more than 22 feet onto her hip and face. With the adrenaline flowing, she got up and competed. But she had sustained a concussion that forced her out of competitive snowboarding for two years. With a lot of patience and rehab, she returned to her board and won her fifth national halfpipe title in March 2016. She was Canada’s top-ranked female halfpipe snowboarder at the PyeongChang 2018 test event and then competed at her seventh world championships. Nicoll has been representing Canada in World Cup competition since December 1999, just a couple of years after she first made the switch to snowboard from skiing. She has eight World Cup podiums to her credit and twice finished fourth in the overall World Cup standings for halfpipe (2004-05 and 2009-10). Another career highlight was her fourth-place finish at the 2010 Winter X Games Europe. Nicoll has always had a drive to make it to the next competition. That was especially important after she fell during the opening round of competition at Turin 2006. She finished 27th and knew that she needed to return to the Olympic Games. She made her fourth Olympic appearance at PyeongChang 2018.
