Brightspeed Ice Park

This weeks Athlete of the Week is Annabelle Hollon, a youth hockey player at Brightspeed Ice Park. Annabelle always shows up to the rink with a great attitude and an even better work ethic.

While playing hockey for the last five years, she is always thinking of ways to help others and her kind nature shows everyday! Annabelle is a great role model for all of the younger athletes and that's why she is our Athlete of the Week!

Congrats Annabelle!🎉🤘👏
