Ainsley is epitome of what the Hobey Baker stands for, character, excellence and sportsmanship. Ainsley is well respected in the locker room so much so that she was voted a captain going into her sophomore year, now a senior the 3 year captain is leading by both example and vocally. Adversity builds character: Ainsley tore her ACL right before her Sophomore year, she had surgery and had to miss the entire season. This alone would have torn many players down and they would have lost the love for the game. However Ainsley was at every single practice and game cheering her teamates on from the bench. The captain plays a tough, gritty style of play that every team desires. The forward does “the little things” that often go unnoticed. She blocks shots, ties up well on faceoffs, defends well in her end. She also produced on the offensive end and led the squad in points (26) during last year’s state title run. As a three-year captain, she is the leader of the team, providing a vocal presence on the bench and in the locker room to her teammates.
