Hockey goalie Aerin Frankel is known as one of the best goalies in NCAA history. While a freshman at Northeastern University she helped carry the team to their first (of many consecutive!) Hockey East titles. She also earned the Patty Kazmaier Award and WHCA National Goalie of the Year Award in 2021, and the latter a second time the following ear. She is now bringing her talents to the US National team and Boston Fleet (PWHL). Not only is she paving the way for women in hockey, but specifically young goalies! Today we dive in to:
- PWHL's second season & first season building an identity around a name/logo/franchise
- Getting started in hockey as a kid
- Importance of coaching and speaking with young female hockey players, specifically goalies
- What a typical game day looks like for her
- How her mentors, coaches, and family have helped her adjust from the collegiate to professional level
