鈥淏eing part of the CSSHL and Edge has really taught me how to manage my time and stay disciplined,鈥� added Imperato. 鈥淏alancing a high level of hockey with academics isn鈥檛 easy, but the structure and support here have helped me grow both on and off the ice. It鈥檚 prepared me for the next level in every aspect, and I am forever grateful for the past two years.鈥�

Off the ice she will be taking Biopsychology, with the intention of becoming a Respiratory Therapist or Psychiatric Nurse, depending on which of the two peaks her interest most after graduating.
