If Audrey Hepburn played hockey: right wing, rated 85

Audrey Hepburn as a hockey player: scouting report

Audrey Hepburn would play right wing, and she would skate it like the ballet student she was before she became a film star. She trained seriously in dance as a young woman in Amsterdam and London, and a dancer's balance, posture and edge work translate beautifully to the ice. Skating is one of the two best parts of her card. She would carve tight turns along the half wall, accelerate out of crossovers and arrive at the far post just as the puck does.

Her best single grade is goaltending, and that fits too. Hepburn won the Academy Award for her first leading Hollywood role in Roman Holiday and then carried films like Sabrina, Funny Face and Breakfast at Tiffany's with a calm that made everything look easy. A player with that kind of poise can stand in the crease when it matters. Her passing is good and her defense is honest, so she supports the play in all three zones instead of cheating for offense.

Physical play is the clear weak spot, and her shot is more accurate than heavy, so she is a creator and a skater more than a pure finisher. Goalie is a strong second spot and center a usable third. Later in life she gave years of work to UNICEF as a Goodwill Ambassador, and that team first instinct shows in her game. Pair her with a power forward who wins board battles and a shooting center, and let her speed open up the ice for both of them.
