Emily Clark (Grade 10)
"Emily is an exceptionally skilled field hockey (and hockey) player - all of the umpires and coaches of other teams have admired her talent and her heart. She could easily be playing at a much higher level (Provincial, University level) in the coming years. She never slows down, never gives up, and yet is so humble about her abilities. She is a good sport and cares more about playing well than winning, and more about supporting her teammates than scoring goals (though it is in great part thanks to Emily that we have scored as often as we have and that we are having a successful season)." - Coach Gera Sport: Notre Dame Jr Field Hockey Uniform #: 6 How long have you played Field Hockey? 2 seasons. Do you play any other sports in school or outside of school? Hockey (outside school) Favorite Sport to play? Field Hockey & Hockey What do you like about Field Hockey & Hockey? They are both fun team sports, you get to meet new people and work hard. What would you say has been your most memorable game? Why? Semi-Final game against Hayden last season. Although we lost, as a team we played we so well, and we worked very hard. It was nice to see how far we’d come from the beginning of the season. Favourite sport to watch on tv? Hockey Favorite Team: Pittsburgh Penguins Favorite Athlete: Marc-Andre Fleury Any advice you would give to anyone who wants to try out for your sport? I would encourage you to try out. It’s a fun sport, it’s unique and involved teamwork. Just be prepared to work hard and have fun. |
