I started skating when I was about 4 years old and started playing hockey two years later with Whitemud West. I played with them up until peewee and then made the switch over to EGHA. It would be become one of the best decisions I would ever make. The memories and lasting friendships over the years is something I’ll never forget.

I will dearly miss all of it and it’s been a big part of my life. Memories of lacing up before games, our on the bench discussions, driving around for bottle drives, early morning practices, hanging out on weekends, running around hotels and everything else will always be near and dear to my heart. I can confidently say I have made life long friends here. I wish we could’ve had a proper last season or at least a chance to properly say goodbye. I always think about our last practice before lockdown and how excited I was to be with such an amazing group of girls this year.

I wanna thank my Mom and Dad for putting up with driving me everywhere for the last 11 years, early mornings or late at nights, in freezing cold arenas that may or may not have froze your hands and toes. I also wanna thank my grandparents for helping out when Mom or Dad couldn’t go and being my biggest cheerleaders and TSN analysts, helping me out planning plays. A big thanks to my many coaches over the years for helping me grow and become who I am today. Lastly, thank you girls for everything. You are truly so amazing. I’ll never forget and always cherish our time together.
