TALIA MERTENS

POSITION: CENTERSECONDARY POSITIONS: LEFT WINGSHOOTS: LEFT
As a wing/center, I take my role seriously in both the offensive and defensive zones. My speed and hockey vision enable me to play a solid 200 foot game, creating scoring chances for my team and shutting down the opponent. Off the ice I am a relentless hard worker whether it involves improving my physical strengths and conditioning or my academics. I am a very coachable player, who is able to accept coaches feedback and apply it to my game.
