Resurfacing the ice at Munn Ice Arena is an ongoing job, thanks to its continuous usage by MSU hockey, the men’s and women’s club teams, figure skating and other events. Driving the Zamboni was usually a men’s job - until now.

Hockey, especially at MSU, remains a male-focused sport. However, MSU’s women’s club team, especially players Schlie and Gross-Turkey want to make a statement about the power of their hockey to help inspire girls to play.

Hunt, a multi-sport athlete, discovered her talent for rugby when she joined MSU’s successful club team. She also gained the courage to come out.

She made her dream of playing college soccer come true, but it ended up being less of the dream and more like a hard grind. So she took a chance, and MSU made all the difference.
