University of Utah Hockey has received a commitment from Forward Halle Hansen for the upcoming 2020-21 season.
Halle’s interest in hockey began when she was young, watching her brother play at their local rink. She started playing boys hockey at the
Bellingham Sportsplex when she was five years old, as there was no girl’s hockey in her hometown.
Halle transitioned to girl’s hockey when she was twelve, with the
Washington Wild (Seattle, WA) in the
Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association. Her junior year of high school she attended
The New Hampton School (New Hampton, NH), pursuing a new academic environment and playing Varsity Hockey in the
New England Prepatory School Athletic Council Hockey League. She finished her senior year as a graduate from
Bellingham High School, while playing with the
Pacific Steelers (Richmond B.C.) in the
Junior Women’s Hockey League (JWHL) for the 2019-2020 season. Some of her accomplishments include selection to the
USA Hockey Pacific Districts in Colorado Springs, CO for four consecutive seasons (2016-2019).
“Halle joins our program as a powerhouse forward who will undoubtedly take our program to new heights. Her dedication, drive, and love for the sport and life in general are characteristics that shine brightly within her. These characteristics coupled with her on ice talents will help us to further instill and build upon the culture we’ve set in place as a competitive program. I have no doubt Halle will succeed in all she sets out to accomplish during her time at the
University of Utah,” said
Head Coach Morgan Marietti.
Halle plans to study
Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Utah.
Utah Hockey would like to welcome Halle and wish her the absolute best in the upcoming season!
