Averie Allard is looking to lead the Huskies back into the playoffs for the third year in a row. Allard has continued to improve over her first three years and is looking to take another step forward in 2022-2023. Allard had a great 2021-2022 season which led her to spending the summer with Team Canada’s NextGen team which led to her international debut in the Dominican Republic in early September. Allard will look to lead a hungry Huskies team.
