Though she quickly moved to the head of the class her progress stopped short one afternoon when the Yale women’s hockey team had a game against Dartmouth College immediately after her lesson. One glance at girls like her in hockey gear and Caitlin was sold. The next morning she had her mother sign her up for in-house hockey and she never looked back. She played on a boys hockey team through her freshman year of high school for Yale Youth Hockey and joined her first girls team The Southern CT Stars in the fall of 1998. Though the Stars had never won a State Title they won the State Regional and National Championships in 1999 the last spurred on by Caitlin’s game-winning goal on a breakaway in the third period.
