Alexandra Joli-coeur '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Lexie joli-coeur and I have been involved in hockey since my first year in novice. I have kept playing the sport throughout the years and have managed to fall in love with it. Everything started in brockville when I played for the brockville angels but I wanted to play at a higher level so I moved organizations to smiths falls. Pursuing a better level of play I went from smiths falls to Rideau at Lawrence in pewee and the proceeded to taking on the Kingston ice wolves AA hockey. I loved the level of play in Kingston but hated the long hours in the car, so for my last year after covid I came back out to rideau st Lawrence to play now that they had a AA team. Hockey has managed to be a huge steeping stone in my life and has taught me a lot about self discipline and commitment. In school to trai , I always loved getting involved with school sports. Throughout all of high school I was participating in a hockey class affiliated with tiss (another school in my district) and the brockville junior braves. In this program I got the amazing opportunity of being coached by randy jones himself. This program really helped me develop as a player because I got to play with boys who were much better then me when I started in 9th grade. I was the first and most likely last girl to ever take part in this program. At my school I always took part in basketball where our girls team went undefeated or very close to it since elementary school. I also had the chance to be able to participate in the all star games for girls basketball too. Other then basketball, I loved taking part in track and field, but mainly field event like discus, javelin and shot put. My school growing up never really had many sports teams because of our small numbers, but every sport team we had I was a part of. For hockey, OHC was a summer/spring team I played on for many years before covid which is a team run out of Toronto. In the spring my father usually made a boys league in cardinal that he let me play on growing up which I loved because I found boys hockey a lot more aggressive and fun to play then girls. In the winter I spent almost every day and night that I didn’t have extracurricular, work or hockey of my own, at the out door rink in my hometown of brockville we’re I could always take part in a fun pick-up game. When I got to the out door rink time would always fly by to the point that I would spend the whole day there and only go home for lunch and dinner. I’ve had hockey in my life from the start and don’t plan on letting it go until the end. I want to be able to play hockey for as long as possible and maybe even one day have the opportunity to coach.
