Your favourite hockey memory? My favourite hockey memory would have to be playing in the grand final in my 2019 U/15’s tournament. As nerve-racking as it was at the time, looking back on it I just remember how surreal it felt playing in a game that is, to this day, the only state level grand final I have ever played in. It ended up going to golden goal in penalty shootouts and even though we ended up with silver, all us girls were so proud of ourselves and still look back on that tournament with the best memories.
Your chosen ‘pump-up’ song: It changes every week but Kanye West is always a staple.
Your go-to coffee order: Almond cappuccino

What are you most excited for this Hockey One season? This will be my first Hockey One season so I’m just excited to be a part of the squad and getting to play some really good hockey.
