                                      fuels her biggest long-term dream: to play in the
                                      PWHL.
                                      Outside of sports, Millie hopes to become
                                      a teacher when she’s older. She is proud of her
        accomplishments, including being a strong skater and placing 6th in the Iona cross-country
        race against many other schools.
        For Millie, hockey is more than just a game—it’s something that brings her whole family
        together to cheer her on. She also credits her big brothers as her role models, saying she
        hopes to be “big and strong like them one day.”
        South Glengarry is proud to celebrate Millie’s hard work, determination, and passion for sport.
