"I started playing hockey in July of 1999. I
have 3 brothers and they all played growing up, but
since I was the only girl in the family, my parents didn't really want me
to play. So in April 1999, I was old enough and had
saved enough money to buy equipment on my own. I
tried a scrimmage with one of my brother's teams and I wasn't very good
so they didn't want me to come back (ha ha). One of the guys had a
wife that played on QHC, so he recommended that I try it. I did of
course, and everyone was very cool, so nice and no one seemed to mind
that I couldn't skate! I believe that playing hockey was the
greatest thing I've ever done for myself. I have made many friends,
traveled extensively, and get fun exercise. The people of QHC are the
definition of a team - we come from many different backgrounds, hold many
different beliefs, but on and off the ice we look out for each
other. I couldn't have asked for a better start to my hockey
career."
Greatest hockey achievement: Winning the 2003 National
Championships in double over-time. |
