Laura now plays in the Dofasco Women’s Hockey League where she is currently the President of the league.Volunteering is one of Laura’s greatest passions and she has volunteered for organizations such as the Flamborough YMCA, the Hamilton Community Foundation, and with Dofasco’s Team Orange volunteer group.Laura’s journey with Grindstone began in 2019 after the passing of her Coach, Bill Needham. Bill was a huge advocate for girls hockey and always went out of his way to support the girls he knew playing hockey in the community. In her spare time, Laura loves to camp, picnic in the park, and check out local festivals!
Laura joined Grindstone at a pivotal moment in our history, helping elevate the charity to a truly national level. Grindstone will always be grateful for her commitment and passion in supporting girls to play hockey.
