The 23-year-old spent five seasons playing college hockey in the NCAA, spending her freshman year with the University of Minnesota before transferring to Clarkson University for the next four seasons.

Combined with her speed and intensity, that hockey IQ becomes a weapon — one that can score, perform under pressure, and make both our team and her teammates better. <div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="143"></div>
