#19 - Lia Kogan, a petite defender with graceful skating ✨

What sport would you play if not hockey? (And why?)
🎀 Figure skating—because it’s on ice, it’s on skates, and it’s simply beautiful.

Dream vacation—where and what kind?
🎀 By the sea!

Funny story from life (sports-related or otherwise)
🎀 When I was little, my aunt played a bouncing game with me on her knees ("over the bumps, over the bumps, down the little paths"). At the part where you "plop into the hole," I plopped so hard I dislocated my shoulder—and we had to rush to the hospital! 🤣

Favorite dish you cook yourself?
🎀 Lagman (noodle soup) 🤤

Why the number 19?
🎀 My grandfather’s birthday was May 19, and my uncle wore #19 at the peak of his hockey career. You could say it’s a family number!

Life (as cliché as that sounds). The game that gave me everything I never even dreamed of. Most importantly—people. The strongest friendships are hockey friendships...
