Portrait of a Hockey Player

When I first arrived in Waterloo 5 years ago to do my Master's, I decided to shoot for the Cord - the Student Newspaper at Laurier. That year Mike Brown and I made the trip to Brock to cover the Women's Hockey Team. The Laurier team is a powerhouse, winning the last six OUA Championships but with the exception of the year before I arrived, they have finished second at Nationals. Since that victory at Brock, Ironside has been apart of three more Provincial Champions and gone to Bejing as part of the Canadian University team at the 2009 Winter Universiade in Harbin, China, February 18-28. I still shoot sparingly for the Cord and yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting her for the profile piece they do on the athletes called Behind the Hawk. The last one is an artistic take on her last crack at a National Championship. Best of Luck Andrea!

My God, she was a rookie when we covered them in St. Catharines! Now I feel old. But great shots, as is the one that ran with the article.
