MiniBio

She was the starting goalkeeper for the US team during the World Championships from 1992 to 1997, a role that truly put her on the map. Before she gained fame, she made a name for herself at the University of New Hampshire, where she stood out as a dominant force—earning the ECAC Goalie of the Year title an impressive four times. Her journey began in Glens Falls, New York, where she was born and where her passion for the sport first took root. Over the years, she built a strong reputation, and her dedication during those early years helped shape the successful career that followed. She’s often remembered not just for her skill between the posts, but for the foundation she laid long before stepping onto the international stage.

And every time she laced up her skates, she carried with her the weight of progress. She didn’t just participate—she paved the way. In each league, from the AHL to the COHL, her presence sparked conversations and inspired countless others. She showed resilience, skill, and an unshakable determination that set her apart. Truly, she earned her place not as a novelty, but as a trailblazer. She remains a symbol of perseverance in a sport long dominated by men.
