Cortland’s Giamo Drafted by CWHL
“Maggie comes to the Furies after careers at both SUNY Cortland and RIT. We are going to be looking to her to bring energy and a compete level to the rink every day that will push the rest of her teammates,” remarked Toronto general manager Rebecca Davies. Regarding her selection in the draft, Giamo commented, “It means a lot, especially since in my senior year I had a freak injury and didn’t know if I was going to play again.” The CWHL was founded in 2007 after the dissolution of the National Women’s Hockey League and features five teams -Toronto, Alberta, Boston, Brampton and Montreal.
