Three-time Olympic ice hockey Player Angela Ruggiero grew up in Los Angeles, California. She graduated cum laude with a degree in government from Harvard University. A star player on the U.S. Olympic ice hockey team, Angela won a gold medal in 1998, a silver medal in 2002 and a bronze medal at the 2006 Olympics. She was the first woman non-goalie to play professional men's hockey in North America. She helped the U.S. capture gold by scoring the tournament-winning goal at the 2005 World Championships, was voted the USA Women's Player of the Year in 2003. When Angela appeared on season six of NBC's hit show,
The Apprentice, she impressed Donald Trump. Though she did not become the official "Apprentice," Trump did offer Angela a job. Angela politely declined the position, for now, and returned to her dream of making her fourth Olympic team.
