WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT ALEX

- Reagan Carey, USA Hockey director of women's hockey, February 3, 2015
"Carpenter came back, returning from a year with the US Olympic team, the silver medalists in Sochi. She was faster and stronger, and her desire to keep improving has been a beacon for her teammates,"
- Boston Globe, February 9, 2015
"One of the many things Carpenter gained during her year with her countrymen was physical strength ... Another trait Carpenter possesses is great intensity... As much as she gained on the mental side of her play, she feels on top of her game physically."
