EP 14 - Haley Mathison - Buzzer Beaters Player

On this episode Tera and Sarah interview another one of their Buzzer Beater players, Haley Mathison.    Haley grew up LOVING hockey, but it wasn’t in the cards for her to play organized hockey in her youth. Instead, she practiced solo on frozen lakes and city rinks, dreaming of one day playing organized hockey.   She achieved her dream after attending a WHAM 101 clinic solo. Even though she started on her own, she quickly and easily formed a team with fellow clinic participants.   With this team she found a deep sense of camaraderie and support among teammates, leading to lasting friendships and a strong sense of community.   Haley’s story shows how trying something new, even on your own, can lead to personal growth, leadership opportunities, and unexpected joy. Her and her teammates’ friends, kids, and families are inspired by seeing moms and women play hockey, breaking stereotypes and building legacy.   Haley hopes her legacy is one of being coachable, athletic, supportive, and a leader. Her hope is to be a role model for others entering the sport.   She has already inspired so many around her to try hockey and she believes that women belong in hockey. And that it is the greatest game in the world!   Whether you're seeking friendship, fitness, or fun— she believes there’s a place for you on the ice.
