Abby Stonehouse returned to cheers of support and admiration recently at St. Anne Catholic School in Blenheim and Ursuline College Chatham Catholic Secondary School.  Abby, a former student of St. Anne, is currently a Grade 11 student at UCC.

She is a member of world championship women’s IIHF U-18 Team Canada, which defeated Sweden 10-0 for the gold medal earlier this month in Ostersund, Sweden.

Abby visited classrooms at St. Anne, bringing along her gold medal for the students to see.  At UCC she entered the gym to a rousing ovation from students and staff.

Chatham-Kent – Leamington MP Dave Epp also visited the school to present her with a Certificate of Congratulations for her achievement; and to thank her for ‘putting the riding on the map!’
