Acting and playing hockey aren't two activities that are usually
mentioned in the same breath. But for the women's ice hockey team's
freshman forward Caroline Park, they are both part of her
repertoire. She has appeared on the popular Canadian TV shows
"Degrassi: The Next Generation" and "Naturally, Sadie." Park is
also an extremely talented hockey player, having scored 51 points
with her junior hockey team, the Mississauga Junior Chiefs, during
her senior year of high school. That means that her name can be
found on the Internet Movie Database as well as on the Princeton
hockey website.
The ice has always been part of Park's life. She began playing
hockey at age 8 and has excelled ever since. Acting is a different
story. Park discovered acting accidentally through an open audition
for a cough medicine during high school.
"There was an open audition for this Robitussin commercial. They
had an open call for hockey players ... and I ended up getting the
principal part," Park said. "[After the commercial], the agent
wanted to work with me," she added.
