othwell-Osnabruck is proud to have stand-out athlete Kristy Pidgeon return to Ingleside after her stint with the North American Hockey Academy in Stowe Vermont this past fall. After being recruited by the prestigious hockey academy, this highly touted centerman recorded a total of 44 points (26G, 18A) in a total

Since her return to R-O, Kristy has wasted little time and has settled back in to athletics at school. Kristy is currently a part of the badminton team, and will undoubtedly play a big role on the soccer team, as well as on the Track and Field team. Not only has Kristy demonstrated that she can perform on the ice, but she truly embodies the meaning of the term student-athlete. This first year high school student maintains an average of over 90% which reveals her commitment to academics. Next fall, Kristy plans on playing with the Nepean Jr. Wildcats of the PWHL where she will compete against women of up to 21 years of age.
