  • Position: Forward
  • “Marley had a phenomenal weekend, perhaps playing some of the best hockey of her career as a teenager. She scored her first two goals of the season, after returning to play in late October from an upper body injury that had her sidelined for three months. Marley’s compete level was elevated to a degree that her coaches hadn’t seen last season. She consistently embodied PTL’s core values—respect, resilient, and relentless—throughout the weekend. In games 1 and 2, she came close to scoring multiple goals but couldn’t find the back of the net. Marley stayed positive and kept shooting, and finally scored in game 3, then again in game 4.”

  • Team: York Lady Devils
  • Player’s Name: Jasper Perez

  • Team: NJ Bandits (Morris)
  • Player’s Name: Gabriella Shadek
  • Jersey Number: 14
