GROWING WOMEN'S HOCKEY
She has an ambition to continue to grow the sport of women's ice hockey and encourage the involvement of young women in the sport. "Women's hockey is not just about training to be the best, there is an element of promoting the game to the young players flocking to the rinks. Participating in the community, whether it is attending practice or a tournament, increase the profile of the sport and shows players what they can strive for. When I started there was only one team and no real age categories, so the growth has been great, we have to keep promoting it." (thesuburban.com 10 Oct 2012)
