POSITION: LEFT WINGSECONDARY POSITIONS: RIGHT WINGSHOOTS: LEFT
A smart and powerful forward, I can see a play about to happen and react quickly. As a play-maker and goal-scorer, I know how to create plays that will set up my team for success. You can count on me to always be looking out for my teammates and to bring big, positive energy to practice and games. Working hard on and off the ice in both athletics and academics is important to me.
