Coach Lyndsey Fry
- During my time playing for the Arizona Kachinas, my teams have advanced to USA Hockey Nationals three times - once as a 14U Tier II player (2022) and twice as a 16U Tier I player (2024 & 2025). In 2024 & 2025, I was one of two 2008 Arizona Defensemen selected for the USA Hockey Rocky Mountain District Player Evaluation/Development Camp. Besides my Kachinas team, I have also participated on summer tournament teams and have competed at the North American Female Elite Showcase, the Beantown Classic and the East Coast Wizards Summer Showcase. I play Center as well.
