If you ever participated in sports as a child there is a good chance you also experienced the after game snacks. Now, if you were lucky enough to have a team supported by great parents that would share the duty then you have most likely also had to face the bittersweet taste of growing up…the snacks stopped. Well the Quinnipiac Women’s Ice Hockey Team has been blessed with an amazing group of parents, we may not get treats after every game but there is one mom and dad that feed all of our sweet teeth on every road trip.
Bethany Dymarczyk, a senior assistant captain from Hamden, Connecticut, a teammate, and classmate of mine, didn’t travel far to play college hockey but that doesn’t mean her dedication is any less than players who travel from other countries. Along with her dedication you also get the steadfast support of her family. Since our freshmen year her parents, Joe and Marsha have not only attended every home game but also every away game. Some of our away opponents include the Wisconsin Badgers in Madison, Wisconsin, Wayne State in Detroit, Michigan, Mercyhurst in Pennsylvania, and of course all of our ECAC opponents skewed across the northeast.
