Gillian Ferrari, a Thornhill native, began playing with the Brampton Thunder of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) in the 2004-2005 season. She has quickly made quite a name for herself in the game of hockey. Her fast and powerful skating stride, along with excellent puck-handling skills have earned her a spot on 4 Canadian National Teams.

Some of Gillian's other career highlights include winning a gold medal at the 2004 World Championships. She also won a gold medal in 2002 and 2005 and one silver medal in 2003 in three out of four Nations Cup Championships.
