A Maple Ridge hockey player stands alone as the only B.C. athlete to make the Hockey Commissioners Association’s National Women’s Rookie of the Year watch list.
This annual list of first-year NCAA female hockey players includes 26 star-studded players, one of whom is Maddie Leaney from Maple Ridge.
Leaney, who currently plays for Union College in New York, joins nine other ECAC Hockey players on the watch list, which is by far the most players chosen from any of the five conferences included.
