HUGO, Minn. — Lyla Beck, 13, started ice skating and playing hockey at the age of 5 through the White Bear Skate School and the White Bear Hockey Clinic. Currently the seventh grader plays for the White Bear High School Varsity team.

She thanks her family and coaches over the years for all the sacrifices they have made to let her play.
“Thank you for always supporting the decisions I’ve made to play hockey,” said Lyla. She hopes to continue to play hockey at a high school level year round and continue to improve in her play.
