Krissy Wendell-Pohl: From the Little League Baseball World Series to the Hockey Hall of Fame
Graduated from Little League Baseball in 1994 World Series, a 2004 shrine to Little League Hall of Excellence, six-time IIHF World Champion medalist and two-time Olympic medalist, Krissy Wendell-Pohl will add another achievement to her long list of accolades as she has been officially announced as one of seven nominees for the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
While today she serves as an amateur scout for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and has spent much of her career on the ice, Ms. Wendell-Pohl's time in the spotlight first came in 1994 when she made history and became the first girl became a catcher in a Little League Baseball World Series game when she reached Williamsport with her Brooklyn Park (Minn.) American Little League team.
Following her Little League days, Ms. Wendell-Pohl made a name for herself in women's ice hockey, receiving the 2000 Minnesota Ms. Hockey award; and the 2005 Patty Kazmier Award as the top female collegiate hockey player. In 2002, Ms. Wendell-Pohl won an Olympic silver medal in women's ice hockey with Team USA; and in 2006, she was captain of the U.S. team that won the bronze medal in women's ice hockey. In between these two Olympic appearances, she helped the U.S. women's national team to its first-ever gold medal at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championships, where she led the tournament in points and was named Most Valuable Player. She retired from playing in 2006.
With the selection, Ms. Wendell-Pohl will join Natalie Darwitz, Pavel Datsyuk, Jeremy Roenick, Shea Weber, Colin Campbell and David Poile in the Class of 2024, with the recipients officially receiving their awards in Toronto on November 11. This year also marks the first time since 2010 that two women will be part of the same Hockey Hall of Fame class, a fitting sign as Little League pays tribute to 50 years of girls in its program as part of the Girls with Game 50 Celebration.
