Zoe Manriquez '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi my name is Zoe Manriquez and I absolutely love hockey. I've been playing since I was 9 years old, and I started in a not quite so normal way. I was introduced to hockey when my friend invited me to come ice skating and not mentioning it was a girl's hockey clinic. When I got to the rink, my friends mom exclaimed how happy she was to see me and helped me get fitted in gear. From the moment I stepped on the ice I loved the sport. I felt at home. Ever since that moment, my love for the sport grew more and more each day.

I started as a goalie because one day our regular goalie for my first summer team didn't want to play goalie for a game, and 10 year old me thought that playing goalie would be a great idea, so I happily volunteered. I played a few years of house hockey and then began to play travel hockey.

For 3 seasons I played on 2 teams, 1 as goalie and 1 as defense. On my first year of travel hockey, I went strictly to goalie.

I've played 3 seasons of travel, 2 with AHU Knights and 1 with the DYHA Junior Sundevils. Now I play for D3 and D1 Basha/Perry in the highschool league, AHSHA.

I started playing travel my 2nd year of peewee and on my first year DYHAantam, I was also back up for a midget team. On my 2nd year of bantam, I moved from AHU to DYHA. My Sundevils team won the 2016-17 State Playdowns.

When I'm not on the ice though, I love to read, write, go on walks, and weld. In school I am part of FFA for AG Mechanics.

I hope this helped you get to know me a little better. Thank you for your time.
