Illegalcurve.com is proud to be the first media outlet to report that seventeen
year old female goaltender Alex Rigsby, formerly of the Milwaukee Junior
Admirals, and the United States Women’s Under 18 program, has been drafted in
round 16, 199th overall in the United States Hockey League entry draft.
The Chicago Steel selected the young women. She represented the United States at the Women's World Under-18 Championships. In February, she committed to play for the Wisconsin Badgers.
It's obvious she has talent. I hope for nothing but the best and I hope she takes the opportunity to try to make the Steel. The team believes she's good enough to be drafted. She has played at high level against boys. If she doesn't make the cut, she still can say I practiced against the very best junior hockey players in the United States.
That's My Take
