She laughs now Andre’s footsteps at a young age. “Ever since I was little I would crawl down the about how some days it was hard to get to the rink because of the cold, and stairs to follow my brother. I’ve always wanted to do what he does,” she says. how unusual it was for her to see the influence of the sport on every day life It’s no surprise then that Andre, a goaltender for his hockey team, sparked her such as in car commercials on TV. love for the sport. “Even though he played a different position than me, it’s Canada’s weather isn’t the only difference she has faced, and she says the big- always been a competition when I play against him, to try and score more then gest change has been the ice time she receives. he could save.

So I stuck with hockey and that’s when the opportunities started coming in.” She’s also learned a lot about the history of the sport more recently, admitting that her hockey trivia knowledge was rusty while growing up in New Zealand.

She made the transition from inline hockey Gretzky, who doesn’t move the needle in her homeland. to ice hockey with a mere four years of ice time, and has already represented her country at the world championships.

Upon graduating from high school she went to Sweden to play hockey, which “I get emotionally attached and although I couldn’t control what happened, it really lifted her game. But an offer from Dempsey changed the course of her felt like a failure. At the end of the day I reminded myself it was just an obstacle future. and I knew I had to keep going.” Having to take her recovery week by week proved to be a challenge as the months passed by and she missed much of her first season with York and the worlds with the New Zealand national team. But her strength and perseverance ultimately paid off as she took the ice for the first game late in the preseason and is ready to go for the start of the year. It won’t be a difficult comeback for her as she has her supportive Lions family encouraging her, as well as her family back in New Zealand, whose support has been crucial to her successful transition. “Our whole team is committed and passionate for hockey but we also support each other off the ice, and that has been really great. And my family at home watches all the games online, even when there is no streams my brother will track the scores and stats. It feels good to know they are there for me.” Happy, healthy and settled in comfortably in her new surroundings, Bastos Gottgtroy is ready for the new season and poised to make a splash in the OUA.
