Molly Boyle is a 2006 born, right shot defender with immense offensive upside that is beginning to draw attention from every direction.
With the puck on her stick, Molly Boyle pushes the play forward, and immediately becomes a scoring threat from the backend. The 2006 born, right shot defender's offensive abilities have grabbed the eyes of NCAA programs, and USA Hockey this year.
"Molly Boyle is one of the most offensively gifted defenders we've had," said Kevin Harrington of his East Coast Wizards defender.
Boyle not only uses her ability to jump into the play as another attacker, but also to step into passing lanes, and close gaps against opposing forwards.
"Her vision and ability to jump up in the play, to know when to step, her ability to step up and kill plays in the neutral zone, it's a real joy to watch her," added Harrington.
"She sort of sits back, she's very cagey, but the second she senses she's got that opportunity she goes, and she's almost always right."
The five-foot-eight blueliner was one of only a handful of defenders to advance to USA Hockey's final U-18 Worlds selection camp, and will be a top NCAA recruit.
