Mahoney commits to Mercyhurst
By Bill Potrecz - January 6, 2021
Kylee Mahoney didn’t need much persuading to commit to Mercyhurst University.
The 18-year-old Niagara Falls native visited the school last year before the COVID-19 pandemic and came away convinced the NCAA Division 1 institution was the perfect fit for her, on and off the ice.
“They were always on the top of my list,” said Mahoney, a Grade 12 student at Saint Michael Catholic High School. “They are a top 10 school in the nation.
“Last year I was recruited and was able to go and see the campus and watch a couple of games. It was really nice there.”
Mahoney appreciated being able to see the school in person.
“It was definitely a lot better than virtual,” she said. “I got to see everything up close and personal. The coaches gave me a tour of the campus and I saw the dressing room. It was a really cool experience.”
The Lakers, who play in the College Hockey American conference, began the recruiting process last year but only recently did Mahoney put pen to paper to make it official.
“It all happened so quickly, honestly. It really was amazing,” she said.
Mahoney appreciates the opportunity to continue to play while she majors in biology/medical imaging.
“I’ve always wanted to play at the highest level, the D1 level, and a lot of coaches helped me out to get there,” she said. “Everyone around me has supported me throughout my career. My dad (former college player Brent Mahoney) always told me he knew I could do what I wanted to do.”
THE VIRTUAL RETURN TO SCHOOL IN JANUARY– WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW:
December 29, 2020
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Last week, the Premier of Ontario announced that beginning December 26, the province would enter a period of additional public health restrictions and protocols to help curb the spread of COVID-19. One of these protocols is related to schools and requires all publicly funded and private elementary and secondary schools to move to teacher-led remote learning on January 4, 2021.
Classes resume for students across Niagara Catholic on Monday, January 4, 2021.
Virtual Elementary and Secondary Schools
Students who attend the Virtual elementary and secondary schools will continue as they did prior to the Christmas break. There are no changes to the Virtual schedule.
