The CDH Girls Hockey team is reaching new heights this year. Strong senior leadership from Captains Cece Ziegler ’20, Olivia Garrity ’20, Stella Dolan ’20 and Kiera Ryan ’20 are leading the young team to success.

The girls are coming together as a whole through activities such as an upcoming Christmas party, Secret Santa, and attending a Gopher Women’s Hockey Game. The Boys and Girls Hockey Teams are creating a strong community atmosphere by supporting each other at their games, both home and away.

The music, lights, and fans have made this year unlike any others!
