In seven games throughout the playoffs, Moss recorded her first goal at the top level of collegiate hockey in Canada and added an assist.
In January 2022, she made a commitment to play for St. Francis Xavier, which is more than 210 kilometers northeast of Halifax.
Prior to signing anything, Moss, a member of the Qalipu Mi’kmaq First Nation Band, held the position of captain for the Pacific Steelers of the Junior Women’s Hockey League (JWHL).
She will now try to help her university win its first-ever national championship; she is currently ranked as the fifth seed heading into the season’s final week. Silver in 2011 was St. Francis Xavier’s greatest result.
