Abe Roque's Offseason Attending online Grad School/Draft Preparation

[GoldenDoodleBoi 45]

In some ways, the day-to-day routine has not changed much for Abe Roque.

 

Enrolled in the Business Major program at Harvard post grad, which has rolled out its online program a little earlier than public counterparts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 23-year-old Sault, Michigan native rises each morning and prepares for a full slate of schoolwork.

“It keeps me occupied throughout the day,” said Roque, who has been staying at her family camp in the Muskoka area since the Hounds season had a disappointing end quite abruptly so while training for the VHL and VHLM draft Roque has been able to spend most of her days on lake with her skates and stick.

 

“I usually get to sleep in a bit more,” Farrow said. “My first class isn’t until 10:05, then I go throughout the day, pretty much like a normal school day. Afterwards, I usually get a workout in, go for a run and all that kind of stuff.”

 

She’s grateful to have some socially distant outdoor space for such pursuits, especially with the weather warming rapidly. She’s also pleased, and just a little nervous, to know that while so much of the sporting world has come to a standstill, the VHLM Dispersal draft will proceed as usual this Post VHL playoffs.

 

Roque, a 5-foot-5, 165-pound Center/Winger, is expected to be one of the earliest picks with Sault Ste Marie roots if not the only to hear their name called in the annual draft.

 

“I’m getting a little anxious,” She admitted. “I’m waiting to see where everyone and all my teammates goes and where I end up in that.”
