What is your fondest memory of playing Ice hockey?

I remember the first day that I came Winter term, first hockey practice in ninth grade. I had to wake up at 4:45 in the morning not knowing anyone on the team, not knowing what the team was like or anything, but I walk into the locker room and everyone has a huge smile on their face. They are blasting music, dancing around while they are getting dressed. It just made me feel so welcome as a freshman coming onto a team.

Who is your favorite athlete and why?6

My favorite athlete is Serena Williams. This is because she is one of the greatest athletes of all time. She is making huge strides for women in sports. Traditionally, when one talks of sporting achievement at this level, no female athlete receives a mention, that is until Serena Williams, of course. She dominates her game while maintaining an amazing amount of sportsmanship. She is currently leading a pathway for upcoming female athletes and is such a big role model, that is why she is my favorite.
