This time of year can be hectic and chaotic with teams fighting for playoff spots and competing in end of the season tournaments. This week’s Athlete of the Week presented by College Hype is junior Katie Teague. Katie’s style of play fits in perfectly for this time of year. The best way to describe it is if the Energizer Bunny put on skates. She is all-go, non stop on the ice. From the first time she stepped on the ice as freshman, she puts 100% into every shift. Her efforts paid off last week as she recorded her first ever two-goal game vs Canton when she jumped up to the first line to fill in for a sick teammate. As the Harborwomen march towards their goal of the TD Garden at the end of the season, players like Katie will play a huge roll in getting them there.
“Katie is a hard working forward who always does the right thing,” says head coach Courtney Turner. “You can count on her to force turnovers or make a play in the D-zone. Her effort day in and day out is what makes her a great player.”
Senior captain Addy Garrity is impressed on how she filled in for her and made an immediate impact.
“Katie definitely stepped up and was a great asset to our team during the Canton game when I was out sick,” explains Garrity. “She’s always very aggressive and works hard every shift. She is a model of a strong and dedicated teammate to the younger players.”
Only a few games left before the girls set their sights on the ultimate prize.
Congrats Katie and good luck to the Harborwomen.
