The Yellowhead Chiefs are proud to announce that Erica McIntosh has committed to the Assiniboine Community College Cougars.  Erica will commence her studies in the fall of 2018 and join her former Chief teammates Fredrickson and Anderson on the Cougars’ Hockey squad. McIntosh is an imposing defenseman whose edgy play often exaggerates her 5’9” stature.  She is an effortless skater with the ability to carve her edges hugging the blue line on the attack. 

Her point-man skills are highlighted by her quick release and punishing slap-shot.  Defensively McIntosh rarely looks down to intercept the opponents rush, and her tough physical play generates excitement and energizes her teammates.   McIntosh leads the Chiefs in penalty minutes. Erica hails from Neepawa and attends Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute, she is enrolled in the Medical Administration program at ACC.  The Medical Administration program will be the first of a few charted education steps towards her career goal in the Emergency Services Field as a Paramedic. Assiniboine Community College is located in Brandon Manitoba and offers a variety of career paths including food and hospitality, business, agriculture and the environment, health and human services, trades and technology.  The Cougars play in the Division II American Collegiate Hockey Association, Western Region, competing with teams across North America.
