- Team: PTL
- Player’s Name: Aryaa Panwar
- Jersey Number: 89
- Position: Forward
- “Aryaa’s engagement with the play has steadily increased as the season has progressed. Her understanding of the game has also grown significantly, and it showed this weekend. She made confident decisions with and without the puck. On Saturday, Aryaa had a very strong second period, assisting on our third goal, then scoring two consecutive goals. On Sunday, she came right to our game from another game at a different rink. Meeting her team on the ice for warmups, she switched gears seamlessly, worked hard all game, and was a difference-maker for us.”
