Episode 61 - Erika Polidori

Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with Oakland University Alum, Olympic Bronze Medalist and Brantford's own, Erika Polidori.  

Erika had a standout 4 years at Oakland University in Michigan where she would go on to finish fourth or better in 10 career offensive catagories and be named to the All-Horizon First Team in her Senior season in 2014.  She would then go on to win a 2015 Pan Am Gold Medal on home soil in Toronto while leading her team in average and then just a few week’s ago help lead Team Canada to their first ever trip to the podium by bringing home a bronze medal from Tokyo.

We’re gonna talk to Erika about getting her start in Brantford, her numerous national titles with the Brantford Bobcats, her time at Oakland University with the Golden Grizzlies, the rough times of being a nurse during this crazy pandemic and of course that epic bronze medal win in Tokyo.

Erika was an absolute treat to chat with and I was so happy I was able to chat with someone who is such and avid listener to our podcast.
