Hailey surpassed all expectations, having a second half to the year that was simply outstanding” commented head coach Morgan Mann. “Her easy going nature off the ice and competitive passion she brings on the ice is respected and appreciated by the entire Rustlers Hockey Club.Hailey is a most deserving Player of the Year.”
