“My experience playing high school hockey was great. The team atmosphere and hockey environment were definitely a highlight of my time in high school. The best part about the high school team was feeling like I was able to play every position (except goalie). Whether I was being thrown on defence during a power play or up playing forward during a penalty kill, was great. I played high level hockey prior to high school hockey, and I was a one position player. It was a treat to float around! My high school hockey experience allowed me to meet teammates who I normally never would have met, and then became friends! Overall, my experience will last a lifetime... It has almost been 8 years since I graduated, and I still think about it.” - Hannah Tyner
