About this episode

Haley Box discusses her journey from Wyoming to playing for Team USA and the University of Wisconsin, highlighting her development and aspirations in women's hockey.

Wyoming isn't exactly a hotbed for women's hockey, but for Haley Box, it's where the love for the game started. The Etobicoke Dolphins forward and incoming University of Wisconsin Badger joins Rinkside Rundown to talk about the journey that brought her from Cheyenne to one of the most storied programs in the sport. Haley reflects on what it meant to represent Team USA, the Nashville camp that shifted the trajectory of her career, and the role the Etobicoke Dolphins have played in her development. She also opens up about the mental side of the game and what the continued rise of the PWHL means to her as a player with professional aspirations.
