Williston ice hockey standout, Alex Starzyk ’13, was recently named New England Hockey Conference’s (NEHC) Player of the Year.  The Enfield native was a first-team All-Conference selection for 2016 as well.

The Saint Anselm College junior led the NEHC in points (27) and in goals (16), and she was instrumental for the Hawks on the power play, where she had 5 goals and had 8 assists.

“I saw Alex play two weeks ago against Amherst College,” said Williston Girls Varsity Ice Hockey Coach, Christa Talbot-Syfu. “It was great to see her in action, and I wasn’t surprised that she was one of the best players on the ice.”

Coach Talbot-Syfu speaks highly of Starzyk’s hockey ability, “Alex is very talented, sees the ice well, and finds herself in good scoring opportunities.  It’s quite an honor to see her receive this distinction, and we are so proud of her.”

Saint Anselm’s Women’s Ice Hockey team finished the 2016 regular season with an overall record of 20 wins and 5 losses, good enough for second place in the NEHC. The Hawks are gearing up for this weekend’s NEHC Open Playoffs, and all us of at Williston wish Alex the best of luck as she helps her team make a run for the championship.

The New England Hockey Conference Women’s Ice Hockey Award winners are selected by the league’s fourteen coaches.
