Former Black Sticks international Gemma McCaw has had the last laugh at a fan who "ridiculed" her during her return to competitive sport - by being crowned top goal scorer at the women's NHL competition.
McCaw, who recently had a baby with husband Richie McCaw, was playing for Midlands in
the women's NHL competition last Thursday. The team missed out on the semifinals when they lost a penalty shootout.
During the game, a fan decided to troll McCaw from the sidelines — so she hit back at him on Instagram.
"To the man who ridiculed me from the sideline tonight, I just want you to know I am a new mum coming back from having a baby 9 months ago," she posted on Instagram on Monday night.
"I probably didn't think I would be lining up for NHL, nearly 15 years since playing my first ever tournament but I'm here. And I'm giving it my absolute best. Sometimes sport doesn't believe in fairy tales.
