Lily Mckenzie '25 Recruiting Profile

I am a very competitive multi-sport athlete with Hockey being my passion. I train and run Cross Country which helps keep my endurance up. I also play softball year-round. I started High school hockey as a freshman, our district doesn't allow varsity placement until you are in 9^th grade so when it became my time to try out, I was more than ready.   I rotated between first and second line as a freshman on Varsity. As a sophomore I started every game as a varsity Center. I was on the first line power play and first line penalty kill. I was put where I was needed most between Center and defense for our PK and PP lines.

My strongest attributes are being physical, Seeing the ice, strong on the boards and being a team player. I've been told I'm the best team mate people could ask for. Points are important but winning and being a good person on and off the ice is more important. I'm proud to say I have more assists than goals this year.  I finished with the most points for Goals and assists. I also broke our teams single season record with 42 points.

Some of my accomplishments include, Captain as a sophomore in Cross Country, Batting average and stealing bases as a Varsity Freshmen softball player. Now with Hockey, Every year since U10 I was always selected for Super Series, and was invited the last couple of years when I was age eligible for Selects. Selects I was honored with High GPA. I was nominated for the 22'23 Breakdown photoshoot and Bio. I tried out for District 10 Tier 1 Green Giants team, over 90 skaters tried out, I was honored to play with them and continue to grow with another coach. We went to the National tournament in 2022 and took First place! For this team I played defense, I'm defensively minded but never played Defense until U15's then again for the green Giants. I learned to visualize the entire ice while playing Defense. I received MVP Offensive player for 22'-23' I also made all Conference as a Sophomore! 

My grades and school are super important to me. I've learned from a young age to juggle schedules with being a multi-sport athlete. I play two year-round sports. I've learned how to prioritize schedules and to make sure I always had time for school work. As a freshman I ended the year with a 3.6 GPA. I also think being a good role model for the youth is important so I try to make it to as many games as I can to show my support to the younger girls coming up in our program. I also co-coach softball. I started this 2 years ago and last season I was a co-coach for the same U10 A.

My goals are to continue being success on and off the ice. I want to continue my aggressive schedule with playing at the highest level in College but I also want to find a school that will fit me best.  Please contact me to talk!
