The Trailblazer’s Roadmap How do you go from starting a local 12U team to scouting for the PWHL ?

Bio Kathy Pippy brings an unparalleled level of experience to the girls' game. Over 18 years ago, she started the girls' hockey program, which has evolved into Pittsburgh Penguins Elite Girls, who have won two USA Hockey National Championships.
