Hockey Bio: Allie's field hockey career began in Hartland, Wisconsin,
at Arrowhead High School. Wisconsin is not a mecca of
hockey greatness, which allowed her to reach the pinnacle
of her career early, as team captain, co-MVP, and even
All-State in her senior year. In college, Allie missed
playing the game, so she started a club field hockey team
at Northwestern, which gained instant class and stature
when Nadeem Khan joined in a coaching capacity. The NU
club team enjoyed much competetive action against North
Shore Field Hockey Club, a precursor to the CFHC which
her team lovingly referred to as "The Old Ladies,"
due to the population of retired hockey players who regularly
kicked their butts. Over the ensuing years, with an increasingly
lower lung capacity, Allie has played on club teams in
Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and briefly in Chicago, before
moving to Guatemala, a country that has not yet discovered
the joy of field hockey, so she had to retire briefly
from hockey. Now back in Chicago, Allie has recently dabbled
in a cross-over career in ice hockey, which she finds
quite enjoyable, since she gets to slam into people and
kick the puck with her feet.
CFHC Experience:
I finally am in Chicago to stay (I think), and I'm so
excited to be on the CFHC! It is such a pleasure to run
around and hit balls with the amazing players on the team,
from whom I hope to learn some mad skills. I truly enjoy
the camaraderie of this welcoming, diverse, fascinating
group of people. Thanks for letting me play with you!
