"Each year I look forward to the RINK Female University Showcase. The ability to interact with the players that attend the showcase is second to none. Being able to have conversations with athletes not only sparks my interest in them as a person but also highlights the potential of being a good fit for our program at York University. I have been fortunate to recruit a few players from the showcase in the past. The weekend is a positive experience from start to finish."
