An 82-year-old woman is the world’s oldest female hockey player.

Linda Sinrod, of Lorton, Va., was a figure skater before becoming enamored with hockey at age 35, when a friend asked her if she wanted to try the sport during a visit to a frozen pond.

She enjoyed hockey so much that she became a founding member of the first woman’s hockey team in the Washington, D.C., area.

Sinrod played for 10 years and then left the team for over a decade before reconnecting with her former teammates.

“After retiring she looked up what her old teammates… and found one was coaching a team, “so at age 67” she decided to join them.

Sinrod’s teammates asked her to leave the team at age 75 because she was struggling to keep up with them. She didn’t want to give up hockey, so she started playing in a women’s league that would choose teams twice a year.

The Guinness Book of World Records officially named her the world’s oldest female hockey player.
