The U15A group, once selected, will be fortunate to have two dynamic female assistant coaches who are also current senior players joining the bench staff this season.  Here is a little bit about each of them:

I grew up playing for the London Devilettes before competing with the Woodstock Wildcats in my U15 year. I moved on to play AA in Bluewater, and then spent five amazing years playing varsity hockey at the University of Toronto. In my final year, I had the incredible opportunity to suit up for Team Canada for the FISU World University Games in Russia. These days, I’m playing senior hockey for the Wildcats and working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo. I'm excited to be behind the bench and help share my love for the game with the next generation!

Growing up as a Wildcat, I spent most of my minor hockey years in Woodstock before moving on to play Midget AA in Brantford. I am currently a paramedic serving Oxford County, and I’m proud to be back in the Wildcats community- now playing on the back-to-back provincial champion Senior BB team. Last season, I had the opportunity to help coach the U15 A Wildcats, and I’m excited to continue giving back to the game and organization that shaped me.
