Author Bio:
Lorena Matzek first developed her love for hockey while watching the Canadian Women’s Olympic Team bring home the gold medal as a kid. She played competitively throughout high school working her way up from defenseman to centerman, before stepping back as a player to pursue higher education. Her passion for the game never ceased, and now she finds enjoyment in working for the team she cheers for and playing a small part in their success. She enjoys pursuing side hustles that pay her to do activities she would normally need to pay for, like watching hockey. When she’s not at the rink, you can find her working her day job, volunteering at her church, and traveling to a new destination.
