Sarah Nurse is showing she can do it all. In her latest act, she saved Canada from disaster by scoring the overtime winner in a 3-2 quarterfinal victory over Sweden on Thursday at the women's hockey world championship in Brampton, Ont.

But heroic goals are just one of the hockey star's many talents. On the ice, Nurse is one of few Canadians deployed on both the power play and penalty kill.

At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, she broke Canadian great Hayley Wickenheiser's long-time scoring record with 18 points in a single Olympic tournament.

Off the ice, she's been a guest judge on Canada's Drag Race, been selected as a video-game cover athlete and recently started broadcasting with TNT and Sportsnet.
