Andrea Blackwell is a true pioneer of women's basketball in Canada
Long before the Women's National Basketball Association was formed in 1996, there was Andrea Blackwell. No exactly a household name, but one of the best female basketball players of her era.
Blackwell helped Canada to a bronze medal at the 1986 world championship in the Soviet Union and was on the squad that finished fourth at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
With no elite, organized league in North America in the 1980s, Blackwell spent a dozen years playing in professional women's leagues in Italy, Belgium and Greece. Her final Olympic appearance for Canada was at the 1996 Olympics.
After her playing days were over, Blackwell coached at Bishop's University in Quebec and St. Lawrence College in Kingston. That's where Allison Forbes caught up with Blackwell for this feature-length interview in part two of our women in sports series.

Hayley Wickenheiser recovering from foot surgery, but eyeing the 2018 Olympics
Hayley Wickenheiser is one of Canada's most celebrated athletes.
She grew up in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, playing hockey on a backyard rink tended by her father. By age 15, Wickenheiser was named to Canada's national women's hockey team. In the 21 years since then, she has played at 12 world championships, winning seven gold and give silver.
Wickenheiser has competed at every Olympic Winter Games since women's hockey made its debut in 1998. She has four Olympic gold medals and one silver. She also was a member of Canada's softball team at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
In 2014, Wickenheiser was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame and voted as an athlete representative to the International Olympic Committee. "It's very strange and interesting," Wickenheiser says of being an IOC member. "It's a big machine with lots of moving parts."
In part one of a two-part radio series on women in sport, Kendall Vander Veen spoke with Wickenheiser by phone from Calgary. Wickenheiser will miss the women's world hockey championship in Malmo, Sweden, March 28 to April 4 because she's recovering from foot surgery.
But Wickenheiser, who's now 36, says she hopes to compete at the Winter Olympics one more time in 2018.

Belleville Bulls Sold - Exclusive Interview and Talktagon
After 34 seasons in the city, the OHL Belleville Bulls are moving to Hamilton.
Loyalist Sports Journalism's Adam Bradshaw spoke with the team’s owner Gord Simmonds Thursday night at the Yardmen Arena.
Simmonds said keeping the Bulls in Belleville was “untenable” and talks with the city to come up with funding for a new, bigger arena were unsuccessful. The Yardmen Arena is one of the smallest in the Ontario Hockey League.
Simmonds said he informed players of the decision at Thursday’s practice.
Simmonds, the team’s majority owner for 10 years, will remain as a minority owner after the team moves to Hamilton.
