This athlete was selected because, as a senior and a captain, she has consistently shown outstanding leadership and reliability — not just as a teammate, but as a defenseman who sets the standard for everyone around her. Last season, she had major ACL surgery and couldn’t compete, but she never disappeared. She showed up, supported the team, and stayed involved every step of the way. That says a lot about her character. She carries herself with real sportsmanship, and it’s obvious how passionate she is about the game. Her commitment, even when she couldn’t be on the ice, is exactly why she deserves this recognition.
