Sarah Fillier has a degree from Princeton, but she's opting for a pro hockey career by entering the PWHL draft on Monday.
The projected No. 1 pick from Canada took a moment to cherish her past six years in college.
On the ice, Fillier capped a four-year college career — she took two seasons off to focus on helping Canada win gold at the 2022 Beijing Games — by finishing among the Tigers’ all-time scoring leaders in fourth with 194 points. Off the ice, the 23-year-old leaves the Ivy League with a degree in psychiatry.
“I just feel free to be honest. I loved my time at Princeton. It was a challenge academically for sure and a challenge athletically,” Fillier told The Associated Press last week.
