The selection marks a personal milestone for Constantinople, who has been chasing a professional hockey career since her early days on the ice.
From Connecticut to the Coast
Constantinople’s journey to the draft began at East Haven High School before she transferred to the prestigious Williston Northampton School in Massachusetts, where she refined her skills against top competition.
