Kora-Lea Hooker

Kora-Lea Hooker is a Canadian women’s football player that has competed with the Canadian National Women’s Team and in the Western Women’s Canadian Football League.

Playing career
Measuring in at 5’2”, the 26 year-old is a spitfire of high energy. Her first brush came in 2010 as the IFAF launched the inaugural Women's World Football Championships. Donning number 36 with the Canadian national team, she competed as a running back in all three games at the tournament.

A few weeks after the IFAF Women's Worlds, Vidal also had the opportunity to help her club team to a league championship. Competing with the Edmonton Storm in the former Western Canadian Female Football League (a predecessor to the WWCFL), she helped her club cruise to a 36-8 margin of victory over the Lethbridge Steel.

Since then, she has moved on to become one of the veteran leaders for the Calgary Rage of the Western Women’s Canadian Football League. Rage fans know her as a leader, a fan favorite and a role model.

Personal
Prior to the launch of the 2013 WWCFL season, Vidal engaged in the most impressive feat of her storied career; motherhood. Having given birth to a son named Evander, he has already been on the sidelines with friends and family for some of her games with the Calgary Rage. Self-employed as a personal trainer, Vidal has also participated in the Sports Sandbags athlete training series.
