Burnaby goalie Kimberly Newell was named the rookie of the year for the Princeton University women's hockey team.
The true freshman jumped into the starting role, finishing her first season in NCAA Division I with a 0.915 save percentage, a 2.90 goals against average and a record of 10-14-2. She was also named an East Coast conference player of the week in February.
Last week, Newell was the youngest player invited to Hockey Canada's under-22 national goaltenders camp in Calgary.
Team inducted
Columbus FC, one of B.C.'s and Canada's most successful soccer clubs, was recently inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame.
Founded in 1953, Columbus celebrated its 60th season this year and was recognized as an organization of distinction at the ceremony held in Toronto.
"My 35 years with Columbus have been a magical experience," said former player Joe Cuzzetto.
