When not between the pipes for the Big Green, Lacina is now turning local kids' hockey fantasies into reality through her used-equipment redistribution program, Green Gear. "We just went to skate with these kids who had an outdoor rink at the school," Dartmouth women's hockey goalie Mariel Lacina '10 said. Alongside her teammate, Kelly Foley '12, Lacina quickly realized that skating lessons were the kids' last concern as they staggered around wearing worn-down equipment.
