Corry Clark should be the MVP of the 2012-2013 season, this was Corry’s first season playing for the Terps. She was an impact player from the very first time she stepped onto the ice. The Terps did not get off to a great start with a big loss in the first game of our season.  Corry’s first game was the team’s second game against Navy. Corry played defense that game and was able to help keep Navy to 3 goals. She also scored 2 goals that game and gave the Terps the boost the team needed to bolster the first win of the season.  She pushed the team to work hard in practice and in games. She played every game with heart and intensity. She was willing to sacrifice her body if it meant giving her team a better chance to win.  Corry consistently played every other shift as well as the power play and penalty kill.  Corry recorded 24 goals and 11 assists during the season. She was a clear reason why the Terps accomplished what they did.  Corry was not only able to put point on the board, but she could also to be a defensive stronghold.  Corry often had to drop back to play defense and could always be counted on to help keep the puck out of our own net. She was a scrappy player in the corners and in front of the net. Corry is a two-way player.  She isn’t the MVP who only scores goals, but she will be reliable on the other side of the ice as well. Corry also brought a new level of hockey knowledge to the Terps; Corry helped change the face of the Terps ice hockey program and impacted the DVCHC in a very short time.  

Danielle Malysa is an incredibly strong player, inspirational leader, and amazing teammate. It is all these qualities that make her the most valuable player for the University of Delaware.

Danielle knows the game of hockey extremely well and it shows when she's on the ice. As the team's top scorer, she can fight through any opposition and pulls through in the clutch. As a senior, captain, and president of the club, the other players look up to her as a leader and she never disappoints.

Lastly, Danielle is a passionate friend to all of her teammates. She has truly earned the title of MVP. Danielle will be truly missed next season.

Alyssa has been my captain for both years that I have been coach of Villanova. She is the heart and soul of our team on and off the ice. Alyssa came up to me back in 2009 before I became coach and asked if I wanted to help out coaching their team, and since then she has helped me come a long way in coaching. 

Besides the fact that she is an outstanding defenseman with a rocket from the point, she possesses a quality that is hard to find in players, the ability to make everyone else around her better. I could pair her with anyone on the team and she will instantly make them better. Whether its giving them a perfect pass on the tape, or going over strategies on the bench in between shifts, she makes everyone better. I don't think their is anyone else in the league that is more valuable to the success of a program then Alyssa is to ours. She is going to be a very hard player to replace next season after she graduates.

Emily Yox is our hero.  Seriously.  After 3 years of learning the game, Emily was looking at a senior year spent putting her new found goal-scoring experience to use.  She had a goal and an assist in her 1st two games. 

Then we didn't have a goalie.  Emily volunteered to start over, learning the game all over again between the pipes.

Emily is always the most upbeat and welcoming person in the BUILDING, let alone on the ice.  Scored on, skated over, defeated... she'd take it.  Winning, making amazing glove saves and earning a shutout... happest person ever.

Emily has boosted our team and our spirits each & every day, on and off the ice.  We're in awe of her strength, her leadership, her talent, her ability to make everyone feel loved and important.  Her diving into new things - and rocking them (never played net, stops over 180 shots) - AND her sacrifice to do so is LITERALLY the reason American University had a hockey season this year.

Emily isn't just our MVP, she's our friend and constant inspiration.  Ryan Miller would be proud.

Kerry Wilson

In addition to her incredible athletic and scoring ability, Kerry Wilson brought unique vision, leadership, and energy to our team.  She shared with the team her vast knowledge of the game from her wealth of experience from playing on the New Jersey Rockets, the USA Hockey 18U Select National Team, and the Quinnipiac Bobcats.  She brought ideas for drills to practice, opinions on strategy to games, and worked tirelessly to fundraise thousands of dollars for the team.  She is not afraid to speak up when needed and has dedicated the past two years to improving many facets of the team at UVa.  No one player has had as big an impact on our program in the past nine seasons as Ms. Wilson has had in her two year tenure at UVa.

Lizzie Samardge

When most coaches think of their MVP, they immediately think of their leading scorer.  While offensive production is very important, there is one player who, had she not had the passion, dedication, strength, and courage to succeed, we would not have had a team this season.  Lizzie Samardge had never skated before she came to UVa.  All she knew is that she loved ice hockey, she loved the Capitals, and she wanted to be a great goaltender someday and emulate her idol, Michal Neuvirth.  She worked tirelessly to improve her skating, stickhandling, positioning, reflexes, flexibility, and hockey IQ.  She did an outstanding job and she improved with every game.  Her importance to our team was never more apparent when she was concussed in the final game of the regular season, forcing UVa to withdraw from our playoff berth.  It is because of Ms. Samardge’s strength, dedication, courage, and impact that I nominate her for co-MVP.
