New Prague | Trojans | GIRLS

Dani Kocina is a senior captain for the New Prague Trojans hockey team.  She us undoubtably the most inspiring person on the team to not only here teammates but also to her coaches.  She is our one and only senior and has taken it upon herself to lead our team on the ice and off.  Her leadership skills start on the ice and continue into the locker room day in a day out.  When Dani gets to the rink each day her focus is strictly hockey. She expects that of her teammates and the actively helps them in doing so.  On the ice, she is not only respectful of her teammates and coaches, she respects the other teams player and referees.  Immediately after each game, the other coaches describe Dani is a remarkable player not only for the skill set she possesses but for the drive and desire she exhibits each shift.  The coaches from the other teams are completely right because we see that in Dani every time she steps into the rink and her teammates respond in the same manner each day at the rink trying to emulate her.
