When prompted to name a hockey hotbed in the United States, Kansas would be on very few people's radar... and for good reason. By the time Meghan Fardelmann, a native of Lansing, Kansas, turned 18 years old in 2005 there were fewer than 100 registered female hockey players in her home state. However, that did not stop her from pursuing her dream as a young girl playing ice hockey. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find anything to stop Meghan Fardelmann from stepping onto the ice and playing every shift like it was her last. There was a time when she thought that might be the case, but the NWHL has given her a chance to lace up her skates instead of hang them up.
