CENTER ICE SPOTLIGHT: CHAYLA EDWARDS | CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OHIO
Updated: Jul 7, 2020
INTRODUCING CHAYLA EDWARDS!
My name is Chayla Edwards, I was born and raised in Cleveland Heights, and I’m 19 years old. I started figure skating when I was 6 and then transitioned to hockey at age 7. I played for a boys and girls team until my freshmen year of high school, which is when I went to school in Pittsburgh and played for my high school team there. I currently play hockey at the University of Wisconsin where I’m a sophomore studying psychology.
First off I’ve always been passionate about social justice and creating change in my community. At my high school and even at my university I joined clubs where I could talk about diversity and racism in America. I was delighted with the opportunity to continue that work outside of my community and meet many other amazing hockey players of color.
