"I consider my coaching style as very competitive yet holistic. I coach to build up young, resilient women to find successes in their athletics but also in their academics, relationship and futures." -Emily Erickson

Growing up in northern Minnesota (Crosslake, MN) her youth hockey was played at the Breezy Point Ice Arena, in junior high she played for her high school hockey team formerly known as the Pequot Lakes Patriots (now, Northern Lakes Lighting) before transferring to a hockey prep school in 10th grade in Stowe, VT (NAHA- North American Hockey Academy). From there she would go on to play D1 hockey and D3 golf for Union College (ECAC) in Schenectady, NY.

Emily graduated from Union College in 2017 with a double major in Economics and Entrepreneurship and currently works across the twin cities for an international commercial real estate company and very much looks forward to hosting a camp in her hometown to give back to all of the local, aspiring hockey players in the BLA!
