Lindsay Glavan, Believe in Girls Ice Hockey. Build a Team...Ep203

Lindsay Glavan played Division I NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pa. She graduated in 2005 having scored 63 points in 139 games as a Mercyhurst Laker and led the team as assistant captain in her junior and senior years. The Lakers were conference champions each year and made their NCAA Tournament debut in March 2005. With support from others in October of 2023, Lindsay started an all-girls team, Garfield Heights Bulldogs, in Garfield Heights, Ohio. They compete against both all-girls and co-ed teams, with a majority of games played locally. Players from the Bulldogs Girls Ice Hockey Team have gone on to join competitive teams in the Cleveland Suburban Hockey League, represent their high school teams in the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA), and play for the Gilmour Gladiators Tier II girls program. In addition to coaching, Lindsay advocates for girls hockey. She understands the power of all girls teams to positively shape a girl’s hockey experience, confidence and leadership qualities. She believes in the importance of grassroots efforts to inspire action from those with power to make sustainable change for local girls hockey infrastructure.  Sign up for Hear Her Sports newsletter at https://bit.ly/HHSnewsletter Get involved and support the show directly at https://bit.ly/givetoHHSpodcast Find all episodes http://www.hearhersports.com/ Learn more abut the Bulldogs Girls Ice Hockey Team here: https://www.garfieldhockey.com/
