In the post, KES mentioned what Underhill brings to their team and what sparked an interest between the two sides.

“Casey is a strong defender with great vision. She is great at seeing the ice and making high quality plays,” said the Highlanders in their post. “She also brings a strong offensive mind and will look to be a valuable asset in joining the rush.

“Casey’s off ice demeanor and attitude makes her a great candidate to compete at the U-18 level as a Grade 10.

“We’re very excited to welcome Casey to the Highlanders family.”
