It might seem a little odd for me to post an item about a hockey player retiring<\/a> — given the overall lack of hockey coverage you might find on the blog — but we actually have a connection here: Cherie is Elizabeth’s god-daughter.<\/p>\n

One of Scarborough\u2019s most decorated Olympians is set to call it a career.<\/p>\n

Cherie Piper, an Albert Campbell Collegiate grad who helped Canada win three Olympic gold medals in women\u2019s hockey, announced her retirement from competitive hockey prior to the Canadian Women\u2019s Hockey League (CWHL) regular season finale which her longtime club team, the Brampton Thunder, won 7-0 over the Toronto Furies. <\/p>\n

Her tally for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics was 10 points (five goals, five assists) in five games — fifth on the team.<\/p>\n

At the 2006 Turin Olympics, her seven goals and eights assists was good enough for second place amongst all point-getters and tied for tops for goals.<\/p>\n

She is in the top-10 all-time scorers for the Canadian women\u2019s team. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
