Daryl Watts is the best player in women’s college hockey. She is also uncomfortable in talking about how she is the best player in women’s college hockey. When she and I spoke on the phone this week she was quick to credit her coaches and teammates when I asked about her on the ice success.
“Passing to Sophie [Shirley] or Abby [Roque] so they can put the puck in the net,” was one of her favorite thing to do on the ice after all.
When I asked her about the Toronto Maple Leafs, her hometown team, however, she became much more animated.
