From growing up outside a town of 16,000 in Wisconsin, to graduating from an Ivy League university, to playing in front of sellout crowds in Canada, Mariah Keopple’s life has changed a lot.

After graduating from Princeton University last spring, Keopple signed a contract with PWHL Montréal out of training camp. This season she has worked her way up from the seventh defender spot to the top pairing, where she has been averaging over 22:30 minutes a game. Off the ice, she’s been growing the game with her fresh fits and learning how to live on her own.

The Ice Garden spoke to Keopple about the transition from life as a student athlete, her experiences as a rookie pro on PWHL Montréal, and her future in fashion.
