Chasing the dream & keeping the next generation safe

---

Growing up in Natick, Massachusetts as the daughter of a Division 1 hockey player, I was inspired from a young age to follow in my mother’s footsteps and pursue my dreams on the ice. I grew up a rink rat. Through  countless hours of hard work and unwavering determination, I achieved that dream by earning a spot at Clarkson University, home to the three-time national champions.

As a freshman business student, I was challenged to pitch a unique idea to a panel of judges—a moment that sparked the creation of Slice Guard. This product was born from a desire to solve real issues faced by youth hockey players, including discomfort, lack of consideration, and impractical designs in laceration protection gear. Through extensive surveys and input from players now mandated to wear neck guards, I realized the potential to create something revolutionary.

Slice Guard is more than just a product; it’s a mission to redefine safety and comfort for the next generation of hockey players. By addressing the needs of young athletes, I aim to ensure they can play confidently, comfortably, and stylishly while pursuing their dreams.

I’m committed to inspiring youth hockey players to chase their goals both on and off the ice, proving that with passion, perseverance, and innovation, anything is possible. Together, let’s build a safer, more supportive future for the sport we love.
