Special Skills

“Makenna may not be big, but she plays big…is not afraid of a battle…is very willing to pay the price and get into a scoring position…sees the ice well offensively and is able to make smart plays with the puck…has a great shot and is able to release quickly…has great speed with the puck…Makenna never stopped working. She was a lot of fun to coach and was very coachable.”

- 2021 Team BC Selection Camp feedback

Makenna Percival is a strong skater with excellent edges who is relentless on her forecheck and backcheck. Her battle and compete is second to none with a high level of hockey sense and vision. Makenna plays much bigger than her 5’0” frame with an intensity that is rarely matched.
