Most Memorable York University Experience Playing on the Women's Ice Hockey and Field Hockey teams and all the lasting friendships I developed over the years at York. I also very much enjoyed being part of the Women's Athletic Council during my 5 years at York.
York University Anecdote or Highlight A highlight for me was going back to York University and teaching the J/I/S Health and Physical Education course in the Faculty of Education for 9 years.
A highlight for me during my years at York as a student athlete was any time we beat U of T, especially in the playoffs! I also have fond memories of our York Ice Hockey team playing the York Professor's team and of course the annual Athletic Banquets.
