LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Pronghorns women’s hockey team has announced the signing of Abby and Alli Soyko as they build towards the 2020-2021 season.

The twins currently play for the Northern Alberta Extreme (NAX) of the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL).

Both Prince Albert, Saskatchewan siblings are in their first year with the club, following time with the Prince Albert Northern Bears in the Saskatchewan Female Midget AAA league (SFMAAAHL).

With Prince Albert, they were members of the 2016-2017 SFMAAAHL championship team that wound up finishing fourth at the ESSO Cup that year.

This season with NAX, Abby Soyko has seven goals and seven assists across 15 games. During her time in the SFMAAAHL, she was named a league all-star three times and was the Northern Bears’ leading scorer twice and served as team captain last season.
