She joined the UIUC organization during her sophomore year and was President of both club teams and captain of the #1 team for three of her four years with the Illini. Katie is excited to play with Team Glacier after competing against them for many seasons. She is eager to help the team reach its goal of going to Nationals in 2007.

Kristi Anderson		25	F		7	2	9	9:30

As a young girl growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Kristi always dreamed of playing ice hockey but Mom just wouldn't buy in.  Long after having given up her dreams of playing, she saw a sign at a sporting goods store for an All-Women's team.  In Kristi's words "she couldn't make the call fast enough."  The rest is history. Kristi became a standout power forward and captain of the Fox Valley Falcons A/B team.  Hockey is a way of life for the Anderson family.  Kristi loves watching her daughter play for Team Illinois and her husband doesn't seem to mind all the driving.  If not playing hockey, Kristi can be found watching it on TV, dirt biking in the U.P. with her husband, playing other sports, and working as a substitute teacher.  Kristi loves playing with Team Glacier and looks forward to working hard and having more fun with her TG teammates.

Caroline Anthony		17	F		11	13	24	2:00

Caroline grew up in the home of hockey, Canada. As a youngster in Cornwall, Ontario, Caroline took to the ice at the age of 8 and played competitively through high school. Refusing to leave the ice, Caroline continued to play recreationally all the way through her university days in Ottawa, internship days in Toronto and work days in Denver. Luckily, Caroline found Team Glacier when she moved to Chicago in 2003 and has played with TG since then. A few things that Caroline misses most from back home: family, friends, poutine, Tim Horton's and Hockey Night in Canada! Caroline can be seen sipping coffee around the world, but mostly in hockey rinks in the midwest or at her day job as an attorney and compliance officer for a subsidiary of a large French bank.

She is trying to get back into hockey shape if she could just find the time! She also enjoys softball, motorcycles and flying with her husband, Robbie in their small plane.

Monette McKinney		4	D					4:30

Monette's been on skates since she was four years old, but didn't start playing hockey until she was 24. Like many other Team Glacier players, once she tried ice hockey, she was hooked. Today, she's not only a key defender on Team Glacier, but also an ice hockey referee and schools one of our forwards in the intricacies of the perfect game of racquetball. In her spare time, Monette enjoys watching her fiance's band, Bad Monkey, play live shows, hanging out at her condo with the electronic dart machine, and chilling with the TG girls. She's also relieved to say that she can still get up in the morning for her engineering job at Lucent Technologies after late weeknight practices 35 miles from home.
