Hi, my name is Bridget Graybill. I am a 2007 right-handed defenseman in my tenth year of travel hockey. For my first seven and a half seasons, I played for the Arizona Hockey Union AA elite boys’ teams before transitioning to the Kachina’s organization mid-season second-year Bantams.
I’m constantly searching for ways to better myself and become a stronger player, student, and leader on and off the ice. I train year-round with supplemental skills sessions with local coaches and spend a lot of time in the weight room with the trainers at D1 to supplement activities with the Kachinas to continuously get stronger. I am known for my coachability, physical defensive play, overall strength, hard shot from the point, accurate passing, heads-up play, high hockey IQ, and being a positive influence in the locker room. I am also relentless. On May 24, 2024, I tore my MPFL and was out for 7 months. I was at the gym and PT every day to get stronger and get my stamina back. I also shot outside to work on my aim and stickhandling. As I returned back to the ice, in early November, I know my hard work paid off and I am continuing to get better.
Regarding education, I am committed to academic excellence, as demonstrated by my enrollment in numerous honors courses and my pursuit of college credits through Arizona State University. Following the recent fall semester, my accumulated weighted GPA of 4.4.
In the future, my goal is to excel in my desired major (kinesiology) and minor (biology) and play high NCAA D3.
