Playing on the Swans felt like a privilege as it was something you had to work for and earn because there were so many girls who were trying out. Coach Ray Monroe brought motivation and energy to his players at all times. His knowledge of the game, commitment to excellence, and the amount of time he puts in for the girls are three qualities that stood out to me. Coach Ray helps girls build their confidence as the Swans face high-level teams. Throughout my time on the Swans, I was able to improve every year. With this improvement, Coach Ray was a huge help when it came to the college recruiting process; he helped me decide what schools may or may not be the right fit and then got me contact with the schools I was interested in. I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for the things I have learned from Coach Ray, both in terms of life and in the sport of hockey.
