Ice Hockey Brooke Stacey Student-athlete
Brooke Stacey, 21, has been skating for 19 years, starting at a rink her relatives built in Kahnawake, Quebec — a First Nations reserve of the Mohawks of Kahnawá:ke. Big dreams, she says, can start in small communities. She enrolled at Ontario Hockey Academy and won gold with Canada’s National U18 Team (outscoring opponents 25–2) in Budapest. Last summer, Stacey participated in Hockey Canada’s National Women’s Development Team selection camp. She’s made friends around the world, and at UMaine, the forward has made the Hockey East All-Academic and All-Star teams. The sociology major enjoys criminology courses and may opt for law school or being a law enforcement investigator. Her hobbies include hiking, dining out with friends, movies and road trips.
