When the Lake Forest girls’ hockey team honored its five seniors Thursday before defeating New Trier, 9-1, at the Lake Forest College rink, it was a celebration of the program’s achievement as much as the individuals.
For a team that was started 10 years ago by former Scout and Brown University captain Jenna Dancewicz because she had nowhere to play, Lake Forest has grown into a state power. None of the five seniors know what is like not to play for a state championship.
