BOSTON – It's the holiday season and that meant giving back for Suffolk women's hockey.
With the season of giving in full swing, the Rams turned their attention away from gift giving in the traditional sense and instead focused on a whole different kind of giving; giving back to the community.
Charitable giving comes in many forms and all 20 student-athletes, head coach Taylor Wasylk and athletic trainer Erin Lanni of the women's hockey squad used their platforms for good leading up to the holidays.
Each donation made had an impact on the communities the Rams aided. Half the team (10) donated to Toys for Tots, helping deliver millions of toys to children in need, which was doubled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while nine student-athletes gave items of need such as food, blankets, and clothing to shelters in their local communities. Meagan MacNeil, Natasha Savage and Halle Usseglio, meanwhile, shipped their kindness overseas with packages to U.S. troops. A full list of contributions made are detailed below.
