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.
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 was able to accomplish an academic average of 92% through nine courses. I have just earned the opportunity through assignments, resume and an interview process to join the Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School SHIELD Leadership – Mentor Program starting next year, where as a grade 11 student I will mentor the new grade 9 students coming in.
As a Multi-Sport Athlete; I play Hockey with the U18AA Hamilton Hawks of the OWHA, I play U16 Club / Rep Rugby with the Oakville Crusaders. At Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Oakville ON, I play Varsity Girls Hockey, Flag Football, Track & Field – Hurdles, and 4 x 100 relay, and most recently I was recruited to play for the first time Girls Field Lacrosse as the goalie, and I am loving it.

Positions:

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. I am good at reading and anticipating the play and efficient in my north/south and east/west movements.
