Career Reflection - Felicia Hardy

[JCarson 744]

Always the Bridesmaid, never the Bride. 

 

The last 4 seasons for Felicia Hardy have been filled with success after success. Championships, personal bests, and offensive production competing with the top players in the league are just some of the successes that Felicia has experienced.  That said there is one thing that has eluded them so far.  One measure of success that has been out of their reach, the goal is to hopefully rectified that this next season. 

 

To look back we will start with Felicia’s VHLM season which they split between Mexico City and Saskatoon. Winning the Championship was a big highlight but putting in a point per game season with 18 goals and 54 assists was a highlight as Felici spent most of the season focusing on the defensive side of the game. 

Felicia’s VHLE season in Stockholm was not as strong as their VHLM season, but they were still able to put up 62 points, 21 goals and 41 assists. Felicia felt much stronger on the defensive side of things. Unfortunately, Stockholm missed the playoffs, and so Felicia didn’t get to learn from that experience. 

 

The last 2 seasons in the VHL have been a constant progression forward with Felicia having 65 points, 11 goals and 54 assists in her rooking season, to place second in rookie points.  Felicia’s second season the HC Davos Dynamo went to the finals in the championships which is always great.  Felicia had an 82-point season with 9 goals and 73 assists.  

The interesting thing about the first 2 seasons in Davos is that Felicia has played much of their time on the second line, which makes the production numbers much more impressive. It did however limit their experience against the top players in the league.   

 

Looking forward Felicia’s goal is to finally break out and take the position as the top defender for the HC Davos Dynamo, solidifying themselves as a key contributor for the team.  It really isn’t the placement in the eyes of the team that matter most but how that influences the rest of the league.  By moving up in the team depth charts that should also establish Felicia as a top defender in the league, putting up both offensive and defensive numbers close to the league’s top players.  

 

There is always a nagging doubt of confidence when as a player you are relegated to the second position.  That doubt of not being good enough.  This season Felicia plans on breaking free of that stigma to finally be seen as the bride, a bridesmaid no more.
