Alli was awarded the ACHA Division II All-American and All-Tournament Team for multiple seasons before graduating in 2014 with a major in Sports Management and a minor in Graphic Communications and Multimedia.

Alli is excited about the continued opportunity to develop the SHAHA Girls Program and contribute to the growth of girl’s hockey in the Pittsburgh area. She believes in building confidence, individual player development, all while having fun and spreading passion for the game we love.
