Miles named to All-Rookie team

After already winning the Canada West women’s hockey rookie of the year and being named to the conference all-rookie team, the Bisons’ Addie Miles was hit with another post-season honour this past week, when she was named a member of the CIS women’s hockey all-rookie team.

Miles’ first season with the Bisons was great. She finished the regular season as the team’s high point getter with 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists). Her +14 plus/minus rating was also a team high this year.

Miles becomes the first Bison in the program’s 11-year history to be named to the conference all-rookie team.
