A true captain and leader who consistently leads by example, setting the standard for those around her. Kenzie's ability to deliver in big moments, score important goals, and inspire her teammates has been instrumental to the T-Birds' success, as they completed an undefeated season and captured their first Canada West title since 2017.

“She thoroughly deserves it. She’s someone that works really hard every single training and holds herself to a very high standard as a national team player. I’m very impressed with how she's there to support her teammates first and foremost, so I'm glad she got that recognition. Kenzie’s just an incredible leader and a great captain, we wish her all the best in future with the national team, and we'll be supporters of hers forever.” - UBC Head Coach Geoff Matthews
