Jr. Wildcats defensive alumnus Mariah Hinds has been chosen Leaside’s 2017 Athlete of the Year and will be honoured at the Leaside Sports Hall of Fame reception in the Lea Room at Leaside arena Friday night. A protegé of Wildcats head coach Kim McCullough, Mariah draws high praise from the coach. “She had the hardest shot in the league, by far, and has the highest hockey IQ of any player I’ve ever coached. She has a magnetic personality, her teammates love her, and she leads by dominating on the ice,” McCullough told Allan Williams of Leaside Life. Mariah is now studying law on a hockey scholarship at Lindenwood University in Saint Charles Missouri, an NCAA Division One school.
