Well if this doesn’t just tie right perfectly into the notion that “Anything Hockey Girls can Do — Hockey Boys can Do Too!
But this time: Russ Courtnall, Curtis Leschyshn, Todd Simpson, Cale Hulse, Boyd Devereaux, Bryan Berard, and Brad May I do believe that Miss Tessa Bonhomme has completely raised the bar on figure skates for each of you!
Hockey Gold Medalist Tessa Bonhomme Battle of the Blades
Here’s what they had to say after Pelletier and Bonhomme hit the ice on Monday night’s Battle of the Blades performance.
Below is the exert from CBC Television’s Blog:
What have we gotten ourselves into, Canada? We saw the last of our eight Battle of the Blades III pairs skate on Monday night and one thing’s for certain: we’re in for one heckuva season.
Tessa Bonhomme made Battle of the Blades history as the first female hockey player to perform on the show.
With partner David Pelletier, Bonhomme performed to “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” by Pat Benatar. The program featured a beautiful death spiral along with a fully-extended platter lift.
“The boys in this competition ought to be very, very nervous right now,” said judge Jeremy Roenick, following the skate.
“And folks,” added head-judge Sandra Bezic, “the forward inside death spiral? David did not do that. YOU did, Tessa. And that’s something that women take years to learn.”
For their performance, the pair earned the highest score of this season’s competition: 17.0.
