Jamie Hagerman began her primary education at DeerfieldAcademy where she played soccer, ice hockey and lacrosse. Upon graduating from Deerfield, she went on to HarvardUniversity where she played ice hockey and lacrosse. During her career at Harvard she also was fortunate enough to be part of the USA Hockey family when she was named to the Under-22 National Team which participated in a Christmas tour in Frankfurt, Germany. After that Jamie spent the last 7 years with the US team playing on various teams and in various countries. Her most notable experience took place this past February where she and her teammates took home a bronze medal after defeating Finland 4-0. Jamie has been surrounded by many of the greatest minds in athletics throughout her career and has developed a great passion for athlete development both physically and mentally. She has been injured, told she cannot make the team and often times feeling as if hanging up the skates was the easiest thing. Well she decided against that and as she sets her sights on getting back with her US teammates she hopes to show other athletes how exciting the world of competitive athletics truly is.
