 "I went home that day really upset. I thought to myself, 'This sport is really not for me. I can’t keep up. I’m too late', but that night, while I sat up In bed replaying the day in my head, I realized that if I quit, they would have won.

They would have succeeded in taking away the feeling of euphoria I got while I skated, the exhilaration I felt when I got a goal into the net, the feeling of pride when I had mastered a new skill and the overall joy and satisfaction hockey gave me. So, I decided that I would keep going, keep pushing until I succeeded.

I also realized that day that there must have been so many people going through the same thing I was. People being discouraged out of hockey. I knew that day that I had to do something for all those girls like me, who didn’t feel welcome or wanted and that my not giving up, would motivate and inspire those girls to keep going.

It was this experience that drove me to create the hockeygirlz__ organization and website, which I founded in the hopes that it would help girls learn and express their love for hockey in a safe and welcoming environment. It is also this experience that pushes me to create a place for girls of all ages and backgrounds to learn hockey without feeling bad or unsupported.

This year, in the 2020-2021 season, I hope to have a different experience—a better one, where I can join a team and play the greatest sport in the world with supportive people who love it as much as I do. I also hope to train and be at the peak of my ability so that I can give 100% to the game.

But, the most important achievement I will hope to have, is to have inspired girls all over the world, to play hockey and feel great while doing so and also change this game positively for all those coming after me." - Alero Eribo  Founder, hockeygirlz__
