Hockey is the pride of Canada. The sport that unifies us all. And it’s a sport that draws people in from all over the country.

It wasn’t until she took a leap of faith and tried out for a competitive boys' team that her hockey journey really began. A journey that took her far from home, and resulted in a National Championship at Mount Royal University, and a career that has the potential to live on after university.
