Northwood School had six students competing in the games: Iliana Smith ‘22 and Paige Melicant ‘22 for girls hockey, Lukas Klemm ‘22 and Peppi DelliQuadri ‘22 for boys hockey, and Kate Broderick ‘22 and Rowan Norfolk ‘22 for Alpine Skiing.

I’m a freshman on the girls’ hockey team, and I’m from West Salem, Ohio. This past summer I went to Venice, Verona, and Bolzano, Italy for hockey and got third place in the World Selects Invitational. One of my favorite things about Northwood is living alongside my best friends. My favorite teacher is Ms. Getz because she understands me both on and off the ice. One of my favorite things to do at Northwood is to go with my friends to watch the boys’ hockey teams play. The adjustment to the winter schedule has been ok. I actually don’t mind it. Having hockey done in the morning is easier than having it after school.

I am Lexi, and I’m from Charlotte, North Carolina. This is my third year at Northwood. I am known for eating applesauce between periods of my hockey games. Before coming to Northwood, I played on the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite, and I billeted with a teammate in Pennsylvania for the year. Even though I am the only person in my family to play ice hockey, my siblings and parents have been really supportive. One of my older sisters was born with no eyes or a nose, and my other sister is a preacher. I guess you could say my family is far from normal. After Northwood, I hope to attend college for pre-medicine and then go to medical school to become a surgeon, but my plans may change.

My name is Rachel Hinkley. I’m fifteen years old, a sophomore, and I’m from Swedesboro, New Jersey. I’m on Northwood Girls’ Hockey team. There are eighteen players, including myself, in my team, and we have a lot of fun together. We are all one big family. We’ve already had some practices and games. I can’t wait for the rest of this season! So far, the year has been going well. I like all of my teachers and students in my classes. When I’m not playing hockey, I enjoy hanging out with my friends and watching Netflix. My favorite Netflix show is The Walking Dead. I think that the opportunities that Northwood offers on weekends are amazing ways to meet new people who I normally don’t hang out with. For example, I went camping and cliff jumping with Mr. Dingle once, and it was a really fun experience that I don’t get to do too often. It was fun branching out to people outside the hockey team.
