Unless you’re a Boston Bruins fan or a hockey nut
in general, Lord Stanley’s sport is probably the furthest
thing from your mind this time of the year. However, a local young
lady has made hockey headlines that are more than worthy of
note.
Caroline Murphy of Woodstock and the Pomfret School, has been
elected to the prestigious position of captain of the Yale
women’s ice hockey team for the 2009-2010 season. She is the
eighth Yale’s women’s ice hockey captain from
Connecticut and the first since the 1996-1997 season to lead the
Bulldogs.
Murphy, a junior, will lead the Bulldogs into their 33rd varsity
season. She was selected as captain by a team vote in March. This
past season, Murphy, a winger, played in 28 games, scoring a pair
of goals and adding five assists. During her first three seasons at
Yale, she and her teammates have posted 37 wins. She will be
formally introduced as captain at the team banquet this month.
