Ros representing Team Pilipinas

Hi everyone! We are getting close to the time when Rosalyn heads out to the Philippines to officially fulfill her requirements for the IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation - governing body for Olympic Ice Hockey) and the Women's National Team for Team Pilipinas. 

Rosalyn begins fulfilling her requirements March 1st, 2018. She will be residing in the Philippines for the next year and a half.

This journey started earlier last year and it has been a great honor an blessing to watch her dreams fulfilled. She has worked hard and continues to work hard, making many sacrifices in order to achieve her goal of representing our home country in the Olympics one day. 

This is historical for not only her, but for ice hockey in the Philippines as well. This past year, marked the first year that the Philippines was recognized by the IIHF. Therefore, qualifying them to work towards playing in the Olympics in the years to come. Both the Men's and Women's team have shown much grit and potential. Their skill level, talent and heart have provided much success and we are very excited to be a part of the growth and history for what is in store for the future.

Last May 2017, Rosalyn was the starting goalie at the Hong Kong Hockey 5s Tournament. The Women's Team Islanders Pilipinas swept the tournament winning Gold with Rosalyn receiving the Most Valuable Player award for the tournament.
