By Ross Forman – AHAI
Ella Huber brings quite the resume to this, her rookie season in the Professional Women’s Hockey League, as a forward for the Boston Fleet.
She was a five-time Illinois state champion, primarily for the Chicago Mission, and a two-time national champion. She also tallied 140 points (52 goals and 88 assists) in her four-year career at the University of Minnesota, which spanned 158 games.
“Ella Huber is a coach’s dream, the heart of a team,” said Erin Rourke, 19U head coach and co-director of the Mission girls’ program – and she coached Huber for four years.
“She has an elite hockey IQ; she sees the lanes before they open and is always ready to execute a drive to the net with great accuracy. She was an invaluable teammate in the locker room, a selfless leader and she made everyone around her better.”
