How She Got Started |
|
Rachel's Dad and older brothers all played hockey.
She started skating and playing at the age of 3. Played
with the boys for the first couple of years and then
caught on with the girls youth program. In
7th grade she started the year as a 4th line center,
and by the end of the year she was
the 2nd line center in the state tournament. |

She's fast. A strong skater.
Aggressive.
Not afraid to get physical despite her small stature.
Your basic "blue-collar worker".
Career: 60 g, 80 a, 140 pts |
Rachel really had a
breakout year for us [24 goals, 27
assists, for 51 points]. Career
totals I have for her 60 goals and 80 assists for 140
points. A number of
college coaches have inquired about her alreadyl.
She's small in stature,
but plays big with little fear and an effort second to
none.

Honorable Mention All-State |
Rachel is a human highlight reel. She plays from the
heart and is a big time player in a small
package. She has caught the eye of many college coaches at DI and DIII
levels. She is a bonafide DI prospect in my book, her performance this past
weekend spoke volumes. A team leader and great role model for
younger players. Speed and quickness combined with relentless efforts
offensively and defensively. Very creative playmaker and vital part of the
success we had this season.

| Rachel is hands down a
player that individually sets the pace and play of any game
she steps on the ice for. She is a natural leader and one of
the best playmakers I have seen in boy's or girl's high
school hockey. She has been on the ice for over 75
percent of our goals scored this season thus far. In a year
that has been coined as a "rebuilding year" by many
outsiders, Rachel has led our team to a winning record and a
real contender for post season play.

Rachel is planning on attending UND and she will
attempt to walk on and play.

A Final
Tribute |
Rip
[Rachel ]
will be greatly
missed next year. She was a true MVP in 2007-2008 in
every sense of the phrase. She was a leader on our team
in overall points, but even more importantly, what an
MVP really is, she led our team on and off the ice. She
was the inspirational and character leader in every
aspect of the season. She is also a great role model
for our younger players since she is always respectful
and is the first one on the ice and last one off the ice
every day. I had more fun coaching this year then I
have ever had and that can be attributed to Rip and
other seniors making it a great year. Whether she
decides to continue hockey at the collegiate level or
not, Rip will be successful in all her endeavors.
