Coach Estela Rivas-Bryant and her friends are using their passion for hockey to create and build a wonderful mentorship program for girls. In fact, they’ve had such a tremendous impact that the National Hockey League has named Estela as a finalist for the NHL’s Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award given to those who, through the game of hockey, have positively impacted their community, culture or society.
You’ll love Estela’s positive energy and her commitment to empowering this next generation of girls with leadership skills both on and off the ice. You’ll hear about Estela's fascinating childhood, and how her upbringing help craft the industrious, creative, strong woman she is today. You'll also learn that Estela grew up with something very special in common with Taylor Swift. Any guesses?! :)
