Fourth-year Women’s Hockey ������Ƶie Kara Anthony followed in her dad Malcom’s (’82) footsteps when choosing ������Ƶ Allison. She visited ������Ƶ Allison on an East Coast tour of universities and fell in love with the campus and the community.

The 5’9” right-winger has been skating for as long as she can remember. She started playing hockey at the age of five, just like her older brother. After a number of years on co-ed teams, she moved into women’s hockey. She played for her school team at The Bishop Strachan School in Toronto from the time she was in Grade 8.

She says being a student-athlete has meant a lot to her ������Ƶ Allison experience.

"Balancing academics, athletics, extracurriculars, and a social life can be tough, but it has helped me manage my time and be more organized,” she says.

Along with hockey, Anthony is also involved in ������Ƶies in Motion, where she tutors at Marshview Middle School and is on Varsity Council. She played golf for ������Ƶ Allison’s club team for two years.

She recalls her standout sporting moments as winning the championship with her high school in Grade 11 and playing in the AUS Championships with the ������Ƶies in her second year.

“It was such a great experience to pack the rink in Sackville,” she says.

Anthony had one goal and one assist during a 4-1 win over UPEI on January 9 and one goal during a 4-3 win over StFX on January 10. She was named Athlete of the Week for her efforts.

“My favourite part about playing hockey is the adrenaline I feel every time I get on the ice,” she says. “I’ve always been the underdog, so I go out there to prove myself."

Anthony is studying psychology and art history and plans to pursue a career in sports marketing.
