BC Hockey announced today that Breeanna Mussell, a forward for the Okanagan Rockets has been selected as the Female Midget AAA player of the month for December.  Mussell had a great month finishing with five (5) goals and no penalty minutes.  Her leadership on the team is a reason why the Okanagan Rockets currently sit second in league standings.

“Breeanna showed she could be a leader on and off the ice this weekend,” said Rocket’s head coach Maurice Blanleil.  “She has a very good work ethic on the ice.”

Breeanna was chosen from a high calibre list of other nominees.  The runners up in no particular order are as follows:

• Saanich Breakers – Marie Vondracek
• Prince George Cougars – Kristin Becker
• Vancouver Fusion – Alana Levido
• Kamloops Mystixs – Kelsey Singer
• Fraser Valley Phantom – Alison Li
• Kootenay Wildcats – Erin Dermody

The Female Midget AAA League was initiated in the 2007-2008 season in response to the membership’s desire to provide an opportunity for elite female hockey players to come together on zone teams to challenge other elite Female Midget teams.
