Inline hockey is alive and well at Kapolei Inline Hockey Arenas, despite the wicked curveball sent over by COVID-19 starting in 2020.
And it’s that time of year when the players who went made it all the way through the youth ranks at KIHA graduate high school.
There are five this year and now they’re moving on to a different phase in their lives. All are headed to college, and more recreational hockey will likely be a part of their future as well.
College hockey will definitely be part of Kawena Lee’s future, The 2022 Saint Louis School graduate will be playing for Bethel University in Tennessee.
