GANGNEUNG, South Korea – The connection between goaltenders Ben Scrivens and Shannon Szabados started back in their teenage days, when he played for the Calgary Canucks and she suited up for the Sherwood Park Crusaders in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
Rivals on the ice, a friendship grew off it as each climbed the ladder, him up to the NHL, her to the women’s national team, and they unexpectedly found themselves sharing the ice again March 5, 2014 when the Edmonton Oilers needed a fill-in at practice and called on Szabados.
