LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge College Kodiaks women’s soccer team has added a new goaltender to its roster.

Brooke Krowchuk comes from the Cochrane Minor Soccer program and will join the Kodiaks after graduating from Crescent Heights High School in Calgary this spring.

Kodiaks women’s soccer head coach Sean Carey believes Krowchuk has the potential to be an impact player in the team’s net for years to come.

Carey said, “I really like Brooke’s all-around game in goal and I really believe she will grow into a huge player in this league.”

“She is such a confident goalie as well as person, which is so important at this level. Now it’s just working on some of the fundamentals and Brooke will be an important part of the Kodiaks for years to come.”

For Krowchuk, committing to attend Lethbridge College represents the realization of not one, but two dreams: playing post-secondary soccer, as well as following in her parent’s footsteps while pursuing a career as a police officer.

She said, “it’s crazy because I never thought that I would be able to get to this level, so I’m super excited for that.”

“Plus I’ve wanted to be a police officer since the dawn of time, so going into the Criminal Justice Policing program is super exciting as I will get to follow my parent’s paths.”

Krowchuk added that she is thankful for the many coaches and teammates who have helped her get to this point.

She said, “one of my teammates is Hannah Tas, her and her family have really helped me to get to where I am and we definitely have built a friendship over the years.”

“I’d also like to thank coach John Castrillon, since he’s the coach who made me who I am today.”

The Kodiaks women’s soccer team is coming off a second-place finish in the ACAC south division and will start their 2022 schedule in early September.
