Boston Fleet's Jillian Dempsey Talks Boston Roots, Teaching, Her Hockey Journey & More
Update: 2025-04-01
Description
Born and raised in Boston, Jillian Dempsey knows the grit it takes to find success. The Boston Fleet forward has been playing professional hockey for over a decade, almost exclusively in her hometown. She grew up in Winthrop, played in college at Harvard, then for the Boston Blades (CWHL), Boston Pride (PHF), and now the Boston Fleet. Today we dive in to:
- Pursuing two passions -- one on the ice and one in the classroom
- Jillian's gratitude for playing most of her professional (and collegiate career) in her hometown
- Unique perspective of growth of women's hockey as an athlete with experience in 3 leagues
- How she has been spending her newfound 'free' time since focusing only on being a professional athlete
- Fleet's focus for the end of season as they look toward playoffs and the Walter Cup
- Her mantra for tough days
