17³Ô¹Ï Women’s Hockey adds talented defender Emily Holmes amid blue-line shuffle
17³Ô¹Ï Women’s Hockey head coach Sean Fisher is hoping new recruit Emily Holmes will bolster the defence after the team said goodbye to several key players at the end of last season.
The Panthers find themselves young and inexperienced along the blue line after veterans Sophie Vandale, Ally Clements, Sydney Lyndon, and Katelynn Nice graduated from the program. As it stands, the defensive corps now consists of sophomores and rookies, including Holmes, who has a chance to become an impact player from day one.
