On Friday, September 9th, the first-ever, full-time 8U all-girl hockey team for the Washington Wild took to the ice for their first practice of 2016 at Highland Ice Arena – a first for Washington State!
On Saturday, October 8, the Washington Wild 8U team played their first-ever game at Highland Ice arena in Shoreline, WA at 4:15pm against Kent Valley.
While score is not kept at the 8U level we must point out, for historic reasons, that Avery McCormick and Allie Martinez scored goals and Rhylee Tiefel served as goalie (her first time!). We had several players that were experiencing their first game ever! Great job ladies!
Head Coach Anne Marie Dion worked with the team off-ice, while assistant coach William Lee was the on-ice official for both teams. Brian Sutton served at team manager. Included in the game roster were:
- Chloe Sutton
- Avery McCormick
- Allie Martinez
- Emma Martinez
- Charlotte Lee
- Katelyn Fulhaber
- Amelia Coyle
- Audrey Spencer
- Rhylee Teifel
- Zoe Smith
- Gabriella Moore
- Makinley Poirot
- (Missing: Penelope Brown, Sara Fuller, Ashleigh Howe, Jane Patton, and Lillian Thomas)
Great job by a fantastic group of talented hockey players!
