Athlete of the Month - Kirsten Friesen

Share:

Kirsten Friesen

Kirsten started ringette at age six and now plays for the U19 Lorette Royals. When the snow melts, you'll find her on the basketball court, biking, or crouched behind home plate singling the pitcher. You may also find her hanging out with her pets or on the ice helping coach future ringette stars.

Kirsten is the talk of the Lorette Royals, not only for her athletic attributes or recently helping the U19 team win gold at a tournament, but for her character as a young lady. Lorette would not have been able to host a U19 team this year without a goalie. Although Kirsten hadn't played goalie for a few years, she knew the best thing for her team was to strap on the pads once again. This selfless kind-hearted gesture serves as an example to young players.

Citizen Poll

When we refer to a place as having a “small town” feel, in your opinion is that feeling created more by the size of the population or by the friendliness of its residents?
