"Makayla is a very physically strong player," Jr. Wolves head coach Keven Schram said of the 5-foot-6 Mori. "She has a tremendous stride and is strong on pucks. She works extremely hard and is very dedicated to improving as an athlete on and off the ice. Makayla is very coachable and has an outstanding sense of humor. Her teammates love her personality and we believe she will be a good leader. She will only get better and we look forward to working with her and her continued development."
