WHY DELAWARE?
"I have chosen the University of Delaware because I immediately felt that the school fit me perfectly in an academic way, but also in a hockey-related way. Based on the characteristics of the team, I noticed that it operates like a real family. I'm very excited to go to UD and improve my hockey skills as well as my academic skills. I can't wait to become part of the Blue Hen Family!"
