Buffalo native Emily Pfalzer is now a gold medalist, thanks to the USA women’s hockey team’s victory over Canada early Thursday morning.  Sports comedian Jeff Wozer has discovered that some perks go with winning the gold.

• Invited to attend a Sabres game and slam a door or two with Jason Botterill.

• Katie Couric asked her to go in on a Pyeongchang timeshare.

• City of Buffalo announced a parade in her honor but then canceled it over concerns of someone drowning in a pothole.

• Channel 4’s Don Postles friended her on Facebook.

• Pressured by agent to change her name to “Niagara Pfalzer.”

• Gets to now call Terry Pegula by his nickname “Pegs.”

• In her honor February 24th is declared “Don’t Pronounce the First Letter in Your Last Name Day” by Mayor Brown.

• Congressman Chris Collins invites her to join him on “Dancing With the Stars.”

• Schopp & the Bulldog invite her on to their show under the promise Schopp won’t ask if she has any questions for him.
