The following article featuring former Harvard standout Caitlin Cahow appeared February 12 on the NBC Connecticut Web site.
Team USA Hockey Player Caitlin Cahow from Branford enjoyed being
a role model. She said "When I go to work at the rink I inevitably
run into some six or seven- year old girl who says, 'oh my gosh can
I have your autograph because you're my hero?' I can't imagine a
better job or a more important responsibility. That's why I keep
waking up and playing because you can touch people's lives that you
would never have imagined."
Caitlin Cahow was once that six-year old girl in Branford. She
started out in figure skating---her mother's sport---until she
discovered a hockey game at Yale.
Cahow said "the Yale women's hockey team had a women's matinee
game against Dartmouth. I had never seen girls play hockey before
and it was the most amazing thing. Some of the players came out on
the ice with ponytails. I was sold. I was hooked. And never really
looked back."
