Nurse has been a trailblazer in women’s hockey and the Professional Women’s Hockey League. As an olympic gold medalist, she’s been vocal about breaking barriers for Black women in hockey and the importance of representation.
"The first time I realized that I was a little bit different than the other people that I played hockey with, whether it was boys or girls, was in a girls' locker room," Nurse said in an interview with CBC Sports. "We were talking about hair, and they started talking about my hair and how my hair just didn't do the things that their hair would do.
"I remember one time I came into the locker room with my hair straight and everybody was obsessed with it. They couldn't even get enough of it; they said your hair looks so much better like that. I just remember thinking, that's not me, it's totally not me."
In 2020, Nurse and her Team Canada teammate Marie-Philip Poulin were immortalized with their own Barbie by Mattel and Tim Hortons.
“When you think of Barbie, you think of girls having that limitless potential and really believing they can be absolutely anything. And the partnership between Tim Hortons and Barbie is going to be so incredibly important,” Nurse told Hockey Canada. “To have a hockey-playing Barbie, to have a Barbie doll that is any type of athletic, really, is huge for girls. We want them to realize that being athletic and being sporty is cool and fun. And that girls can be athletic and still be little girls.”
