THE COOLEST SPORT: HOCKEY JULIETTE METHOT WINS STATES

Q. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING HOCKEY?

A. I’ve been playing hockey for about 8 or 9 years

Q. WHAT POSITION DO YOU PLAY?

A. Defense

Q. HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN HOCKEY?

A. I got started in hockey because my dad played pro and when he retired, he started coaching, which is when I was about the age where I could start to play on a team. I guess it’s just always been a part of my family.

Q. DO YOU PLAY ANY OTHER SPORTS?

A. I run track for HAC in the spring

Q. WHAT WAS YOUR TEAM’S RECORD THIS YEAR?

A. For the 2022-2023 season we went 40-18-8 (wins, losses, ties)

Q. WE HEARD YOUR TEAM WON STATES - TELL US ABOUT THAT.

A. Winning states was really amazing. There was a point in the tournament that we thought we wouldn’t make it to finals, but when we did we were super excited. Then when we won, the whole team and all of our families were so excited- it was unreal, like the best feeling.

Q. WHAT’S THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED WITH YOUR TEAM ON AND OFF THE ICE?

A. The hockey season is so long, so many good things happen so it’s hard to pick a “best thing” that’s happened but if I had to pick I think I would say just seeing all of our hard work pay off, you know between all the late practices and early weekend mornings like it’s cool to see how dedicated everyone is and how our team bonded throughout the season both on and off the ice.
