“Anna Sikorski is so deserving of this award. I coached her at U11- U14 and, at that time, I knew she was going to be a special player. She’s always had the drive, commitment and passion to become a dominant player. She’s always been motivated to become the best possible player she could and she’s just scratched the surface. I expect bigger and better things to come from Anna as she gets ready to play at the next level.”
