Over the last number of years, Abby has excelled as a hockey player. She played with the PWHL Minnesota Frost, now drafted by the expansion Hamilton team. Abby is the first Islander drafted to the Professional Women's Hockey League.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9412844\" data-originallang=\"en\">In my Egmont riding, the enthusiasm is enormous. In fact, there is a debate among several communities that all claim Abby as their own: St. Louis, Ebbsfleet and Miminegash. Everybody wants to say \u201cwe knew her when\u201d, and I know Abby's parents, Paul and April, are absolutely thrilled with Abby's accomplishments and career.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9412845\" data-originallang=\"en\">Beyond those great local rivalries, one fact remains: Abby is a wonderful example of everything a young person from a small community can accomplish. She is a great role model for thousands of Islanders. I am looking forward to attending Abby Day on July 4 in Miminegash, her hometown.</p>",
