Charlottetown, PEI — Bruce Donaldson, coach of UPEI Women's Hockey, is pleased to announce Delaney Boehm of East St. Paul, Manitoba has committed to the Panthers for 2018.
"I watched Delaney at a tourney in Stoney Creek in early September and felt strongly she would be a great addition to our team," said Donaldson. "We are looking to add size and offensive talent to our roster and Delaney offers both."
Boehm plays for Balmoral Hall School in Winnipeg. She presently leads her team in scoring with 19 goals and five assists in 26 games.
"I chose PEI because it had the big town campus feeling provided in the small-town atmosphere, it felt like home," said Boehm. "The hockey program and academic programs both are fantastic. Having come from a small high school, the class sizes are nice and not too overwhelming. Overall, it is a great fit to further both my athletic and academic career."
Balmoral Hall competes in the Junior Women's Hockey League, which includes teams such as the Boston Shamrocks and Chicago Young Americans.
"It's a very strong league which enables players that are having success to transition to the U-Sport level," said Donaldson. "Delaney visited a number of interested schools, and UPEI was the last stop on her visits. We were very pleased when she confirmed that UPEI was her first choice and look forward to seeing her in our line come September."
Boehm plans to pursue a Bachelor of Science majoring in biology.
Go Panthers Go!
