It takes a lot of guts to step in front of an
opponent’s slap shot, just like it does to ask for the
privilege of doing so. Melissa Perry knows that as well as
anyone.
Perry, a junior defenseman at Quinnipiac, has gone from being a walk-on hopeful to being a key member of the Bobcats’ air-tight blue line corps.
“It’s amazing,” said Perry, who hails from Chelsea, Mich. “Ever since I found out that there is women’s college hockey, it’s been a goal of mine. Just obtaining that goal is very satisfying and gratifying. But now I just want to keep proving myself. Try to be the best player that I can be. It’s a great feeling to know that I’ve made it, but it’s a continuing process to try to better myself.”
