Vicky Sunohara is a three-time Canadian Olympian who was once described as "the Wayne Gretzky of women's hockey". She just completed her 9th season as the head coach of the University of Toronto women's hockey team. She was most recently named the 2019-2020 OUA and USPORTS Coach of the Year for Women’s Hockey and was also named the OUA Women’s Coach of the Year across all sports.

She made her Olympic debut at Nagano 1998 where women’s ice hockey also debuted as part of the Olympic program. Team Canada and Vicky took home silver at Nagano 1998. Vicky would return to the Olympic Games at both Salt Lake City 2002 and Turin Italy 2006 where she and Team Canada took home back-to-back gold medals. Over three Olympic Games, Vicky appeared in 16 games and recorded 13 points.
A member of the women’s national program from 1989 until her retirement in 2008, Vicky appeared in eight IIHF World Championships (7 gold, 1 silver) playing 40 games and totalling 41 points.

Vicky was named Ontario's female athlete of the year for 2006 and was also a part of the Inaugural class of the Scarborough Walk of Fame that same year.
