Strengths:Team speed and athleticism. A deeper bench than we’ve had the past few seasons.

Question Marks: Limited varsity hockey experience, especially on defense.

Outlook/Goals: “We will look like a very different team this year. We lost four all-league multi-year starters to graduation and the league’s top scorer last year (Ava Jones) to injury. We will field a very young mostly inexperienced team, but we have a lot of potential. Early in the season we’re focusing primarily on showing improvement every game. If the team develops as we hope, we’d like to contend for the league title again and qualify for districts.”
