MSB: My favourite parts about being a member of the Sudbury Wolves is the fans, the staff I have been surrounded with over the past 12 years and being able to give back to the community in different ways. I love the excitement of the game, and what the teams mean to the community. AC: My interest in working in the sports industry started only a couple of years back. The challenge of trying to apply my hospitality knowledge to this industry was intriguing and to start a new position that I could truly embrace and recreate the role. SF: By getting to work with young hockey players, we have the opportunity to be a positive influence and demonstrate that women have just as much of a role to play. SF: I really love the strong connections I get to make with all of the members of our organization, from the other women in our front office, to the players and hockey ops staff. CM: My favourite part of working with the London Knights Hockey Club, is that I was able to remain and work for my home town team! LM: Being a part of the first ever OHL Outdoor Doubleheader game at Comerica Park in Detroit in December 2013. I enjoyed the atmosphere so much as a fan I wanted to help bring that same kind of joy and excitement to other fans! JL: My proudest professional achievement is being one of the few women to become a Head Athletic Therapist in the OHL. AW: I think its so important for young women to see women in all aspects of the game and various positions throughout the league. My favorite part about being a member of the Firebirds is seeing people’s dreams come true, and also having the ability to learn almost anything when it comes to the sports industry.
