Coach Barrett Kaib
- Anna made the 18u AA split season boy's team. She shared the goalie position with another male player but Anna earned the "starting goaltender" position. The team won every game that Anna played in net. Anna has played with these boys for years but she broke from the group to play AAA girls hockey last year in hopes of gaining more exposure. The boys were thrilled to have her back playing with them & they begged her to try out for the regular season Varsity team. Anna tried out and made the Varsity Boys Team for 2021-2022, following this pre-season team, which was most of the same boys.
