As we wrapped up our final hockey game of the season, I reflect on these past few months, our team, and the memories we’ve created together. We started this year off with two goalies and five players at school, only three of whom were here last year, and we gradually gained girls as we neared the beginning of hockey season, and even afterwards. We were a new team both to each other and to Hebron Academy. Most of us started this season barely knowing one another but, after working with each other day after day, both in the rink and out, to call any member of our team a stranger is about as far from the truth as it is possible to get. Each moment we shared brought our team closer together, whether it be singing in the locker room before games, being stranded outside the closed rink in the cold, or coach Dumais telling us “skibidi,” on multiple occasions. Throughout our whole season, injuries and sickness kept sweeping across our team, but, after every setback, we got back up and kept working hard. Everything we experienced together and each person on our team played an important role in creating a season to be proud of, even if the scoreboard didn’t always agree. This year was not easy, but working together, we were all able to improve so next year will be even better, go Jacks!

To our amazing captains, Belle and Kiera: we are all going to miss you so much, and we wish you both the best wherever you end up next year.
