When I was about ten years old I went to Salt Lake City, Utah for an all-state hockey tournament. I had never traveled out of the state for hockey in my entire life, even though I had been playing since I was three years old. While my dad and I were driving from Meeteetse, Wyoming, my home town where I have lived since I was about a year old, we approached a windmill farm between Rock Springs, Wyoming and Salt Lake City. I immediately was fascinated with the windmills and wanted to know how they…

The sense of family is what I enjoyed most about being part of the hockey team. We all look out for each other and support each other. We focus on the positive. We do not ignore the negative, we address it and move on. We are there for each other during the season as well as the off-season. If I needed advice about an important decision I needed to make or a reference for a job, I would not hesitate to reach out to Coach George. I trust him to give me good advice and I know he would be honest…

Hockey I love hockey and I also love playing it. Before I came to Canada, I didn’t know hockey existed in Canada. When I started school in Canada, I was in grade four (4), I played hockey for the first time and I loved it right away.

WHOOSH! That’s the sound of the opposing team scoring one of many excruciatingly painful goals. Last year my lacrosse team entered an All Star tournament in Wilmington, North Carolina unknowing the fatal consequences. Don’t get me wrong, our team was good but nowhere near All Star status and our record shows crystal clear that we were not ready for the ocean of skill but rather showed we should stick in our quiet, desolate puddle. My theory on why my team’s numb skulled coaches entered us is…

My participation in competitive hockey began ten years ago through the North Bay Girls Minor Hockey Association in North Bay, Ontario. Since then, hockey has become a lifestyle and a major part of my own identity. The first nine years of my hockey career were spent in North Bay as a part of the Ice Boltz team.

to there once you’ve graduated. I remember being a freshman and not only getting the taste of playoffs, but getting the whole thing. We made it through playoffs that year and won states against our rivals. Not only did I gain a stronger love for field hockey from winning states, I became driven to do it again. Going into my senior year, I expected our season to go the way it always had; we make it into playoffs seeded high in our conference. After our first few games, I realized that it was…
