\u201cIt\u2019s such an honour to be selected to the NWHL by the Toronto Six,\u201d MacDonald said in a team release. “Ever since I was a little girl, I always imagined playing professional hockey and the NWHL has made that dream possible. I\u2019m looking forward to lacing them back up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cara Morey, head coach of the Tigers, said MacDonald is a complete player\u2014hard working and plays a 200-foot game, outworking her opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe is a play-maker and energy-giver who will help the Six in all areas of the game,\u201d said Morey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”127″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”30″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”105″] [adrotate banner=”84″] FALL RIVER: A women\u2019s hockey player with ties to Fall River will be lacing up her skates as a professional women\u2019s hockey player this coming season.
