How Hope Walinski impacted Winchendon as a hockey player and leader in the community
Bio
Hope, a four-lifer (4-year senior) at Winchendon, walked into our girl's hockey program with an infectious smile and a workhorse attitude. On the ice, Hope was quite a hockey star, but in the classroom, she was an even better individual.
The Rhode Island native was a prominent piece of success for herself and others right from the jump. Her ice hockey experience; a prime participant for the Boston Junior Eagles in winning a State Championship in 2019, named a captain during her junior and senior years at Winch, in the 2019-2020 season earning the First Team All NEPSAC Division I Prep School Perseverance Award and received the Jason Ritchie '05 Scholarship Award (2020-2021).
Hope was a dedicated and vulnerable leader in our community, who dedicated her time to the success of others. Her accomplishments continue to astonish the eyes closest and most far from her.
