Lady Bobcats Add Another to the Depth Chart

PAUL SMITHS, NY –

Lady Bobcat’s Women Ice Hockey adds another to the depth charts with the recruitment of Justyne Hayes. Hayes, from Bedford Texas, joins the Bobcats after playing for the Dallas Stars Elite Girls 17u Hockey team. She also competed for the Grapevine-Colleyville Boys High School Hockey Team.

Daughter of Jodie, Hayes will be graduating from Trinity High School and will come to Paul Smith’s College to study Biology this fall.

“Justyne comes from a great family as I coached Justyne and her brother. Justyne is very respectful and demonstrates great attention to detail. Talented on the ice as well as in the classroom, she will be a great asset to the team and community,” said Ray Kizzie, head coach for both the Dallas Stars Elite 17u and Grapevine-Colleyville High School.

Coach Casey Gerrish voiced his excitement for Hayes, “Justyne will make an immediate impact on the ice for us. Her skill and determination caught my eye right away, and I’m excited to see what she can do at this level. I’m really looking forward to coaching her for the next 4 years.”
