Denna grew up in Marblehead, Massachusetts, a few miles north of the hockey hub of Boston, where her love and passion for the game of hockey started and flourished. Her career began like most hockey players career’s do when her father taught her how to skate during open ice at the local rink and her mother drove her to all of her early morning club hockey games across New England.
Growing up, Denna and her two sisters played for Assabet Valley Girls Hockey where her father, Dennis Laing, lead teams to numerous state and national championships. Denna attended the Noble and Greenough school, where she excelled in three varsity sports: field hockey, hockey, and lacrosse before she went on to Princeton University. She had an impressive collegiate career all while being a two year captain for Princeton Women’s Ice Hockey. Post-college, Denna played for the Boston Blades before joining the Boston Pride in the newly formed National Women’s Hockey League for the 2015-2016 season.
Those who’ve been blessed with the opportunity to get to know Denna, know that she is one of the most caring, hard-working, and selfless people on this planet. She always has and will continue to confront adversity with relentless grit that is unparalleled. Our hope is that, in this time where we know Denna would be the one stepping up for you, you find the little piece of Denna in your heart, to help her and her family through this recovery process.
The money donated to this fund will be allocated to Denna and her family to use towards funding her medical expenses, along with any other expenses that we can help her family with during this hard time. A donation of any size is greatly appreciated.
