Sara Silarszka, 2021, Harvard College, Division I – Ivy League: “When I joined HUSEL Hockey Club two years ago, I told Coach Jenny that it was my goal to play at the collegiate level, and I will never forget her response - “we’ll make it happen”. This sentence is extremely representative of the dedication and passion Coach Jenny has for her club and for her athletes, and of the lengths all of the coaches will go to in supporting you through the recruiting process and through your development as an athlete. For the coaches of HUSEL, no goal is too big, no phone call is too much of a hassle, and no favor is too big to ask. The coaches care about you not only as an athlete, but as a person, and will unashamedly advocate for you on and off the field purely out of the desire to see you succeed in every aspect of your life. What I think is most special about HUSEL is the relationships the coaches form with their athletes. After every practice, Coach Jenny consults with us on what we want to see in the drills, line-ups, and plays, and integrates our observations into the next practice. This open communication and adaptability creates an environment of mutual respect and honesty that makes me excited to go to practice every day, and has helped me develop my leadership skills, field IQ, and confidence. These skills, and the expertise and wisdom the coaches of HUSEL have instilled into my game over the past two years, are invaluable to me as I enter this next chapter of my field hockey career, and I am forever grateful for the amazing people, experiences, and lessons HUSEL has brought into my life.”
Kylie McKinley, 2023, Dartmouth, Division I – Ivy League: “I came late to the sport, having been a soccer goalie in middle school. I discovered field hockey the Summer before high school, and fell in love with the sport right away. I knew I needed to train hard if I was going to be able to play the sport in college. I had the good fortune to find Coach Jenny and HUSEL Hockey Club, and I dove into training in earnest. The coaching staff’s initial focus for me was on two things: developing my technical skills and learning the strategy of the game. That focus allowed me to make great strides in a short amount of time. Coach Jenny also made sure I played in events that would stretch me as a player. Happily, I got to the point where playing in college was a real option for me. Coach Jenny then helped me develop a focused list of colleges that fit with my academic and athletic goals. I then worked with her to find the right showcase events to get me the right exposure, and when colleges began to reach out to me, Jenny did a great job in leveraging her amazing network and credibility to ensure the coaches had an accurate view of my skills and my potential fit with their program. I got into my dream school due in large part to Coach Jenny's great guidance and direction, and for that I will always be grateful.”
Tess Satterfield, 2023, Hofstra, Division I – CAA: I knew from a very young age I wanted to play a Division I sport. I met Coach Jenny the summer before my freshman year of high school. I told her that I wanted to play Division I field hockey and she told me exactly what I needed to do. I joined HUSEL the following year. Every coach and player was so welcoming to me. The coaches at HUSEL care so much about each player. Every coach has gone out of their way to get to know me and made an impact on me. Immediately after joining HUSEL my skills, IQ of the game, and fitness improved. Coach Jenny helped me during the recruiting process by using her connections and preparing me for showcases. I have never seen a coach who cares so much about her players like coach Jenny does. Coach Jenny has spent hours working with me. Last summer she used her lunch break at work to do private lessons with me. She has pushed be to become the best player possible while also caring about me as a person. Coach Jenny’s passion for this club is what makes this club so special. She is constantly working to get her players exposure for recruiting and the best training possible. I am so grateful that I get to be a part of the HUSEL family. This club has allowed me to achieve my dream of playing at the next level and given me lifelong friendships.
Juana Gonzalez Peyru, 2024, Northeastern, Division I – CAA: Two years ago, I received an invitation from Jenny to play at the regional club tournament, since one of her forwards had been injured. At that time I was in my first year of U16 and the invitation was to play in U19. I always welcome challenges but this one was important to me, not only because of my age but because I had to make up for the loss of a key player from the team. After talking on the phone with Jenny, I didn’t hesitate for a minute. Her leadership, passion and clarity to convey her vision and goals motivated me to undertake this adventure, which ended up being one of the best experiences of my life. I felt welcomed from day one from not only Coach Jenny but all of the HUSEL Family. That was the beginning of a relationship that grew over the years. Her advice and support has been very important to me during the recruitment process. Her experience as one of the most recognized players in Wake Forest’s history is very important for those players who want to play in College. I am so thankful for the support that Jenny and HUSEL Hockey Club gave me. Thank you so much Jenny for your support!!
Liv Boatwright, 2024, Division I - CAA
I became a part of HUSEL Hockey Club in the Spring of 2022 after witnessing their quality play in a JPOL game and experiencing Coach Jenny’s guidance at my NEXUS site during my sophomore year of high school. I was looking to refine and add new skills to my belt, and I immediately fell in love with Coach Jenny’s approach on how to develop both physical and mental skills in the sport. Within a couple of hours at NEXUS, I already felt that I had become a better player with the help of Coach Jenny. Two months after we met, I asked Coach Jenny for an invite to play with her team at JPOL. After ensuring that she could make additions to her roster, I received an invite to guest play with her team. I was warmly welcomed by the players. It was at this tournament that I realized that I wanted to become a permanent addition to HUSEL Hockey Club. Since joining, I have noticed an improvement in my skills and hockey IQ. Also contributing to my growth as a player was Coach Amber. I played my first full season at HUSEL during indoor season as one of Coach Amber’s athletes. It took me a while to adjust to the new style of indoor that I was not yet used to. However, I am thankful for Coach Amber’s patience and willingness to work with me to become a better player. I am appreciative of Amber’s tough love that forced me to hone and perfect my indoor skills. I took the lessons Coach Amber imparted with me to the outdoor season. Amber helped me with my off ball movement, which is essential for a forward to have. Fixing my off ball movement allowed me to better help my team enter the circle. I am thankful for the strong coaching staff at Husel Hockey Club and their enthusiasm to work one-on-one with athletes. When I expressed my aspirations to play field hockey at the collegiate level Coach Jenny became an instrumental part of my recruiting process. She used her connections and knowledge of college field hockey to help me understand what programs would best suit me. Coach Jenny and I had countless conversations about recruiting and what I could do to showcase my talents. If not for the constant support of Coach Jenny, I would not be the player that I am today. Her unwavering support of her athletes contribute to the successes of this club. She genuinely cares for her players and pushes all of us to excel on and off the field. She leads by example and encourages her players to put in the necessary work outside of practice. The dedication to the growth of her players and the sport of field hockey is what initially drew me to join HUSEL. I am deeply grateful for Coach Jenny and the amazing club full of quality coaches that she has built. HUSEL Hockey Club is the reason that I will be pursuing my goal of playing college field hockey.
An Tran, 2024, Johns Hopkins, Division lll - Centennial Conference
I joined HUSEL Hockey Club two years after it was established. Prior to joining I had been looking for a club with competitive play and a coach who was experienced in the field of collegiate recruiting; HUSEL offered both and much more. I remember playing in the summer league my freshman year and by the end of the league I knew one thing, I had to join HUSEL. When I joined most of the players had been with the club since its creation but welcomed me just as I was one of them. Immediately I felt a sense of belonging among the players.felt a sense of belonging among the players. They embraced me as part of their team, sharing not just their skills on the ice but also their camaraderie off it. Our practices were intense, pushing each other to improve every day. Under Coach Jenny and Amber’s guidance, I honed my skills and learned valuable lessons about teamwork, discipline, and grit. Our coaches weren't just focused on our performance on the field; but also the importance of academic excellence and character development. As I settled into the team, I realized that HUSEL was more than just a hockey club—it was a community. We supported each other through victories and defeats, funny videos, and team bondings. One of the highlights of my time at HUSEL was the opportunity to compete in prestigious tournaments and showcase my talent to college scouts. But beyond the wins and accolades, what made my experience truly unforgettable was the bond I shared with my teammates. We were more than just players on a team; we were a HUSEL family. As I look back on my journey with HUSEL Hockey Club, I'm grateful for the memories, the lessons learned, and the hopefully lifelong friendships forged on and off the field. Joining HUSEL was one of the best decisions I ever made, shaping not just my hockey career but also providing me the opportunity to play at the higher level at my dream school. I’m so grateful for all of the coaches and opportunities I was provided from the club.
Tatum Anderson, 2024, Virginia Commonwealth University, Division 1 - A10
I have been a member of Husel Hockey Club since its formation in 2019. My field hockey journey began in 2nd grade, during which time I had been a dedicated soccer goalie. I made the transition, driven by the desire to be like my older sister, Coach Mack. Since then, my stick has become an extension of myself. I have so much gratitude for my first coach, Coach Amber. Her belief in my potential, even during the early stages of my sport, gave me the confidence to push myself beyond my limits. Her dedication to my development as a goalie has had a lasting impact on my career. Under Husel, I have had the opportunity to play under phenomenal coaches who have pushed me to reach my fullest potential, alongside teammates whose talent has challenged me to always try to improve and play my best. My sister, Coach Mack has always made sure that my technique is where it needed to be in order to play at the highest level. Coach Jenny's commitment to our team's successes is unmatched, and her efforts both on and off the field have truly made a difference in our lives. She not only teaches us the fundamentals of the game but also inspires us to be our best self. Husel Hockey Club is a family, and our achievements and lighthearted moments are treasures I hold close to my heart. As I prepare to advance in my field hockey journey by committing to play for VCU, I am deeply appreciative of the foundation Husel has provided me. The training, challenges, and all the victories have been instrumental in shaping me as an athlete and as a person. Without the guidance of Coach Jenny, Amber, Lindsay, and Mack, I would not have attained my goal of competing at the Division I collegiate level, and for that, I am forever grateful. Husel has proved itself to be a place where you can grow, compete, and make long lasting memories. I will continue to have so much love for Husel Hockey Club and I look forward to following its future accomplishments!
Bella Konchar, 2024, Franklin and Marshall, Division lll - Centennial
I joined HUSEL as soon as it was created while I was in middle school. I had barely been playing for a year and was just starting to figure the game out. All the coaches at HUSEL made falling in love with field hockey easy. I always looked forward to practices and tournaments as well as seeing my teammates. Coach Jenny and Coach Amber did an amazing job shaping me as a player as well as building my confidence. I feel like I improve after each practice or game because each drill helps you not just learn new skills, but apply those skills to the game as a whole. I am so thankful for my teammates at HUSEL, everyone I’ve played with has made learning the game so fun and exciting. It’s been so fun seeing us all improve together and grow as people too. Once my recruiting process started, Coach Jenny supported me in so many ways. She gave great advice, provided tournament opportunities, and taught me all the different recruiting steps. Not only did Coach Jenny support me field hockey wise, she also supported me off the field. After my second time breaking my nose, she visited me after surgery and helped me get back into playing again. It just goes to show that while HUSEL is a great field hockey club, it’s also a community that cares about their players on a personal level. Additionally, I’m grateful for all the effort HUSEL coaches put into seeing players succeed, it’s truly their passion and it leads to amazing teams, friendships, and memories. Now that I’m continuing to play in college, I can’t wait to bring all that I’ve learned at HUSEL to Franklin & Marshall. I can look back and know that every experience, tournament, and practice at HUSEL has played a part in making me the player I am today. I will miss my family here at HUSEL but will hold onto the best memories created here forever.
Maya Rorick, 2024, Franklin and Marshall, Division lll- Centennial
I have had Coach Jenny as my coach since the 6th grade, this means that Jenny has coached me the last 7 years. In these 7 years, I not only learned how to be a phenomenal player, but I also learned how to be a phenomenal teammate. Through the past several years, Husel field hockey has taught and refined skills that every player should know, as well as expanding my tool box and increasing my hockey IQ. While each coaching style is different here at Husel, each coach truly cares for their players and builds them up to be the best players that they can possibly be. The coaching staff is strict, but also loving, they know how to push athletes to succeed no matter the position. As someone who plays all of the positions except goalie, the coaches have taught me how to love to play no matter where I’m put in, showcasing my versatility. While the coaches are outstanding, I have to say that the players make the club, not just the players at the U19 level, but all the way down to U10. I feel like I have found a family at Husel Hockey Club, friends that I can turn to if I’m having a rough game or just a rough day. I have made lifelong connections with girls of all ages who are attending colleges everywhere(some even in Scotland, hi Kim) and girls who will someday chase their dreams just like those of us that are moving on. Husel is a place where you will feel welcomed and loved the second you arrive, the players are exceptional skill wise, and strives to be the best for both themselves and their teammates, all because of this club. Husel has taught me how to truly care for my teammates and wish them the best in life, even if we will soon become rivals in college play. Husel taught me to persevere in times of loss, how to be a ray of sunshine when we are defeated, and how to celebrate a good win with the people I love. The support that is given to athletes from coaches to players is unmatched in my opinion. As an athlete who is furthering their career at a Division 3 level, I oftentimes felt lost or afraid to make a choice, especially if that meant leaving Husel behind and moving on to a college level team. Throughout the recruitment process, I was given pieces of advice and words of encouragement to get to my new team. On my first official visit to Franklin and Marshall, I realized that the team reminded me of Husel field hockey and I instantly knew that that was where I belonged. I am forever thankful of Husel as the person that I am today wouldn’t exist without this club. I have learned how to become a hockey player and a great teammate because of the support that I was shown from both players and coaches. If you’re having any doubts about joining the club, I highly recommend that you take that leap of faith as you could find your newest family, not just a place where you consistently grow as a player, but a place where you will be happy and respected for all that you are.
Nicole Moran, 2022, Bucknell, Division I – Patriot League: “I say HUSEL family because that is what this club continues to mean to me, a family. The coaches and players create a competitive team culture that is truly unmatched. I have met lifelong friends on my teams that I will always cherish. In addition to that, the personal relationships you will have with the coaches are unparalleled. I would not be the player or person I am now if I did not have the mentorship and coaching from Coach Jenny Everett. She molded me into the player I am today and I could not have made it to the next level without the thousands of 1v1s and hours spent with Coach Jenny working on my skills. In addition, she was there for me during every step of the recruiting process and her connections and hard work helped make this possible. The Coaching staff’s field hockey background is another feature that sets HUSEL apart from many other clubs. Each Coach has competed at the college and/or national level. I am so thankful for HUSEL Hockey Club. It was the perfect club for me to grow and challenge my skills. I cannot wait to see the HUSEL empire grow!”
Ella Bowman, 2024, Catholic, Division lll- Landmark conference
As a goalkeeper it’s hard to find a program with an open spot for a goalie. When I tried out, they already had too many goalies and unfortunately they were not able to offer me a spot. A year later I went up to Jenny at NEXUS and told her I had left my old club and she immediately offered to take me in as they now had an open spot for me. I really enjoyed goalie training with coach Lindsay and I truly appreciate the amount of time that she has spent working with me to help me improve my technique and mechanics.
Whether it was Division l, ll, lll or just club, I always knew I wanted to play field hockey in college. College recruitment is a tough process, and being one of many goalies in the program, Jenny did an amazing job giving me and the other goalies exposure to tournaments and college coaches. After my first big tournament during the beginning of my senior year, I had schools reaching out to me. It was hard to find the right school for me, but coach Brooke really helped give me direction and support during the process. Finally, after 4 years of recruiting, I am finally reaching my dream of playing collegiate field hockey. I am so grateful for the coaches that have helped me get here like coach Amber, Madison, Lindsay, Rachel, Jenny, Brooke and most importantly, the HUSEL family.
Charlotte Dreany, 2024, Washington and Lee, Division lll - ODAC
I joined HUSEL FHC the fall of my senior year of high school. After verbally committing to play in college I knew that I needed to improve my skill set and athleticism before preseason. I had watched HUSEL compete in tournaments throughout the years and I was attracted to the competitive yet supportive nature demonstrated by the players and coaching staff. During my short time at HUSEL not only have I learned valuable skills that I will bring to the pitch next year, I made new friends and got new mentors that supported me in my decision to join HUSEL. Coach Jenny has shown me what it takes to be a collegiate athlete at any level and has empowered me to take ownership of my growth in order to succeed in college. I will never take for granted the lessons that HUSEL has taught me on and off the field. My experience on this team has been fun, challenging, and enriching and I am grateful for being accepted into their FH family during my senior year.
Maria Papas, 2022, Longwood University, Division I – MAC: "I first started field hockey my freshman year of high school. Funny enough, I hated the sport but after an overnight summer camp, I absolutely fell in love with it. From then on, it was my dream to play field hockey at the collegiate level. About two years ago, I signed up to play in a summer league with my high school team which ended up being the one Coach Jenny was in charge of. At the time, I had been playing with a different club, but I decided to try out for HUSEL just to see if I liked it. Turns out, that was the best decision I could have made for my recruitment process. Not only did I end up loving the team and how welcoming they were, but I loved the coaches and how they pushed me to work harder. In comparison to other training sessions I’ve had in the past, HUSEL is definitely the place where I have improved the most and became a better player. What I love the most about HUSEL is the ability to make practices fun and efficient while also being challenging for those who want to play at the next level. I never left a practice without learning something new and improving on a new skill. Recently, I have announced my commitment to continue my athletic and academic career at Longwood University. It was a long and tough process, but I couldn’t have done it without Coach Jenny, Coach Amber, and Coach April for helping me along the way. I am so happy to call this team my family and I’m going to miss this team immensely when I leave."
Natalie Morgan, 2022, Fairfield University, Division I - NEC
I came to HUSEL at the end of my junior year and even though I wish I switched clubs earlier, I am so glad that I made the switch. I was welcomed with open arms from not only Coach Jenny but all of my teammates. I learned so much in that short period of time and feel like I really improved as a player. Every practice is extremely productive and I have learned so many more skills which makes me feel very prepared to start my college athletic career. Recruiting for me was extremely stressful. I came to HUSEL in the middle of my recruiting process from a club where the coaching staff did not really help me with recruiting. When I saw how much coach Jenny cared about her players and their aspirations, it was really reassuring to me. She really tries to connect to her players on a personal level. I don’t think I would be playing in college if I did not make the switch to this club. Coach Jenny made sure to get us to tournaments that got all the players great exposure to college coaches and she really reinstilled a sense of confidence in me which I was struggling to find. I am glad to have the opportunity to play at the next level and so thankful that Coach Jenny and all of my HUSEL family made it possible!
