Dream big, work hard. Make it happen.

Trio of college stars turning Pimicikamak into a hockey hotbed. The odds are stacked against any kid in Pimicikamak who laces up their skates and dreams of the big leagues. And yet three lifelong friends from the community — Saige McKay, Carrigan Umpherville and Kennesha Miswaggon — have all carved an unlikely path into elite, collegiate-level hockey, making them role models for not only female players but also Indigenous players. McKay and Umpherville are rookies with the women's hockey team at Long Island University, on the outskirts of New York City; Miswaggon plays with the University of British Columbia.
