“The d-coach (Juuso Toivola) has really taught me a lot, and I think that’s what’s given me and the whole team the confidence to finish the last half (of the season) strong.

Regarding Vasko: “I feel like I’m always learning so much from her, and I always find myself asking her questions. She’s so dialled and locked in.”
I had two great conversations with Charge forward Peyton Hemp and defender Brooke Hobson about their time in Ottawa and growth, both on and off the ice.
I’ll have something soon for The Hockey News, so stay tuned!
Grace Elliott, forward with the University of British Columbia and one of the most exciting players in U SPORTS, has signed with 93 Hockey Services.
When this team executes on the details within a game, they have the pieces to be right there with the best in the league.
Fans saw that in the first period against Seattle. It’s when things break down and they overcomplicate their decisions that they look like a different team.
Practice is underway here at TD Place, as the Ottawa Charge prepare to hit the road and take on the New York Sirens on Sunday.
This week, Grace Outwater, forward with Penn State University, was named the Atlantic Hockey America Scoring Champion.

Friend of the show Katia Pelowich and her Concordia University teammates have a 1-0 series lead over Montreal in the RSEQ Finals following a 5-3 victory last night.
Agreed. I use the main USPORTS website, but that’s often very delayed, even when they have the option to show “live scores.”
It’s one of the many things that makes coverage terribly difficult in Canada. I want to do a better job, but this doesn’t help at all.
