Lily Christensen, senior at Darien High School, has been
skating since she was in 5th grade. She began her competitive hockey
career in 6th grade and has continued to show a passion and love for
the sport of ice hockey.
Throughout Christensen’s high school career, she has played
defense and has loved it! “I love playing hockey because it’s such a different
sport,” says Christensen. The different group of people, close bond with all of
her teammates, and love for the sport in general are all reasons why she loves playing
ice hockey.
This year, the girl’s hockey team won FCIAC for the second
time in school history. “I knew that we were capable of winning,” says
Christensen, who was awarded MVP of the tournament. The game was close, but in
the end they took the win against New Canaan, with a final score of 3-4.
Christensen stands as an inspiration to those younger than
her. She has served as captain both her junior and senior years and was voted
onto the FCIAC First Team last year. Her hard work and dedication to the sport
of that she is someone to look up to as both an athlete and a leader. Her team and
DHS wish her the best as she continues her hockey career at Miami University.
