Next Level U Statement
Hard working, driven, dedicated, student multi-sport athlete, aspiring to continue my education at the University level while playing varsity Hockey and or Rugby.
As a Teammate, I have strong values to be committed to the team, on and off the ice/field. I am encouraging and supportive to help the team (both individuals and the team) achieve their goals. I feel that I can lead by example, that I am a quiet leader on a team through my work ethic and love of the sport. I love being with the team whether it’s a practice or dry-land workouts, tournaments, or play-offs, the team and the sport are one of my passions.
As a Student, I am hard working, conscientious, detail oriented student who understands that you cannot achieve your athletic goals without strong successful academic goals. In my Grade 10 year of high school, I had an academic average of 92% through nine courses. In my Grade 11 year I had a 89% average over 10 courses. I served as a SHIELD Leadership – Mentor where I mentored the new grade 9 students through their first year and organized many activities.
As a Multi-Sport Athlete, I play Hockey with the Windsor Southwest Wildcats in the U22 Elite Junior of the OWHA, and I play U18 Club/Rep Rugby with the Oakville Crusaders and was a regular call-up to the Senior Women’s team this past summer. At Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Oakville ON, I play Varsity Girls Hockey, Flag football, Track & Field – Hurdles, and 4 x 100 relay, Girls Field Lacrosse and Field hockey as the goalie. I am currently at Holy Names in Windsor Ontario, where I will be playing Varsity Ice Hockey

Goaltender
Player Style:
As a goaltender I play a positional game, finding the angle early and staying with the play. My play is simple and effective. I sit tall in my butterfly and use RVH off the posts when needed. By holding onto rebounds I am able to slow down hectic games and limit rebound opportunities. I am developing my puck play game, setting pucks up for teammates and making the stretch pass when available.
Player Strengths:
Strengths in my game include my clear communication with my teammates, my ability to take away the net and hold rebounds off my body and clear shots with my stick or blocker. I am good at reading and anticipating the play and efficient in my north/south and east/west movements.
