DID YOU KNOW?

• Small was the alternate on Canada's silver medal-winning team in Nagano, while attending Stanford University on a track scholarship.
• As a mechanical engineering major at Stanford, Small designed special upper-body padding for her senior project. Rather than recreating the standard one-piece protector, Small's consists of two pieces - one like an extended shoulder pad for the chest, and one an elasticized abdominal piece underneath. When she bends, it collapses like armor, offering more flexibility and a greater range of motion. She still wears her prototype when she plays. (NBC's Winter Olympics page, February 2002)
