Player of the week · 3-3 tie vs Midland, Oct 25
21

Julia C.

Spent the whole night on the ice and never once in the box.

Midland tie, Oct 25. Julia got asked to do a lot and said "cool." A few power play shifts back on D. Penalty kill duty when the game got tight. And zero trips to the sin bin, which the coaches double-checked because, well, it's Julia.

Plays both ends, takes whatever job the bench hands her, keeps it clean. That's what we mean by effort that never shows up on the score sheet.
