The girls’ hockey program is known for its commitment to both individual skill development and team dynamics coached by head coach Kristi King.
The captains this season are Malika Chebaclo ‘25 and Charlotte Palmby ‘25, along with the assistant captains, Addie Wethington ‘27, Callie Arthur ‘27, and Janie McGawn ‘26.
The team has a strong roster this season, combined with Providence Academy, Minnehaha Academy, and new addition St. Paul Academy. Seven players on the roster come from the other schools.
Wethington described the experience of having other teammates from different schools. “It can definitely affect the team dynamics and the relationships that have already been established, but we have been getting along very well,” she said.
Arthur believes that having teammates from other schools isn’t very different because they are still a part of the team: “It doesn’t matter where we go to school, we all come together to play and have fun,” she added.
The season began with their first game against Osseo/Park Center with a five to zero win. The girls are more than ready.
Through building relationships with teammates on and off the ice, the girls’ hockey team is determined to make this season one to remember.
