For Jane Pancoe, hockey continues to be an important part of her life, while she has her sights on establishing a career as a pediatric nurse practitioner.
Pancoe, now in her third year playing with SUNY Canton Women’s Hockey Program of the NCAA Division III, reflects on her start in the sport and the influence her family has had on her.
