Entering her fourth season with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women’s hockey team, goaltender Colby Wilson knows the opportunity that lies in front of her.
For the first time in five years, the Huskies’ crease sits vacant following the graduation of reigning Canada West Player of the Year Camryn Drever, who is off to begin her professional career in Sweden.
“I’m super excited to kind of fill her role here,” Wilson said. “I think I’ve been training really hard over the past few years, working hard and just making sure I’m prepared for this. It’s definitely going to be different, but I think it’s going to be a good different for myself.”
Wilson is the odds-on favourite to seize an open position in the Huskies starting lineup, of which there are several following a number of key graduations from the 2023-24 roster.
