Spotlight Series - Cassidy MacIntosh

I started playing hockey when I was 5 with Kanata fundamentals. On my first day out I could hardly stand up but something about it got me hooked. After two seasons in House league, I tried out for my first competitive team at Atom (U11).  Both the pressure and success of competitive tryouts and competition have fed a desire to push my limits every year. As a major at U15, I made the Ottawa Lady Sens,  where I am finishing my hockey career at  U18AA.

Hockey has given me many special memories over the years, from scoring the tournament-winning goal in a shootout,  making provincials for the first time last year, to winning two gold medals so far in a season where I have tallied the most points ever. 

Two lessons I took from hockey are the importance of being a dependable teammate, and the commitment to improving myself both as a player and a person. 

I will really miss my teammates and the friends I have made over the years.

I wish you all good luck in the future and I hope we will meet again.
