The recipient of a bachelor's degree in nursing from Elmhurst College and a master's degree in organizational leadership from Lewis University, Judith Abraham is an experienced obstetrics nurse who has held director roles at hospitals in Illinois and Wyoming. An avid hockey fan, former Wyoming resident Judith Abraham counts the Chicago Blackhawks as her favorite National Hockey League (NHL) team.
Although Corey Crawford is expected to be the Blackhawks starting goaltender next season, the team will have depth at the position following the recent acquisition of Cam Ward. The team signed the veteran goaltender and former Stanley Cup winner to a one-year, $3 million contract on July 1. A native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Ward was selected 25th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2002 NHL Draft and has spent his entire 13-year career with the Eastern Conference franchise.
Ward was just a rookie during his former team's 2005-06 Stanley Cup-winning season, but earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. He has since compiled a career regular season record of 318-244-84 to go along with a 2.70 goals against average, and a .909 save percentage. While he's expected to serve as the team's backup goaltender, he is more than capable of filling in as a starter for an extended period of time should Crawford miss extensive time with an injury, as he did last season.
