Description: Perhaps one of the fastest rising new stars in professional hockey, Paul Kariya of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks is an ambitious young man with a dazzling style of play and a reserved personality. Paul, whose abilities are often compared to those of hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky, has been skating and shooting pucks since the age of four. After finishing high school, he joined the hockey team at the University of Maine, leading it to a national championship and becoming the first freshman ever to win college hockey's top award -- the Hobey Baker Award. In 1994, Paul led the Canadian national team to an Olympic silver medal and to a gold medal in the World Championships. That same year, Paul began playing with the Mighty Ducks and quickly became a team leader.
