Amelia Dineen ’15, a behavioral neuroscience major, has been playing hockey over three-quarters of her life. After suffering from a concussion early this season, Dineen is excited to be back on the ice to help the Camels improve their current record. Most recently, she brought the Camels their second win of the season scoring the winning goal with 1:47 left against Holy Cross. Here is a little more about the tenacious forward:
Hometown: Arlington, Massachusetts
Alma Mater: The Williston Northampton School
Years Playing Hockey: 17
Why She Started Playing: I started playing hockey because my dad took me to public skating when I was four, and I decided that I wanted to keep skating. I loved watching the Zamboni go around and would watch the older kids play hockey, and it looked like fun.
Favorite In-Season Moment: Beating Trinity in quarterfinals of the NESCAC playoffs last season. It really was just a good way of showing off all of our hard work and our season really came together at that moment.
So Far This Season: We have a really great group of girls. We’ve added a huge freshman class to the team, but we already all get along so well. I have high hopes for this team and believe we can really go far this year. We’ve already been off to a pretty good start!
Pre-Game Ritual: Katy Perry and playing four-square with my teammates in the locker room.
Post- Game Food: Chocolate milk and whatever food I’m offered. I like when my family comes, not only for the support, but also for the delicious meals that usually follow.
Fun Fact: I LOVE puzzles. I used to do a puzzle a day and even though I can no longer accomplish that, I always have a puzzle going in my dorm room.
