Today we celebrate one of our 2020 Purple Blanket Recipients as a part of our Major Awards in May celebration!

Western's prestigious Purple Blankets are presented to the student athletes who, in the opinion of the Selection Committee, achieved superior distinction at the provincial and/or national level of competition as representatives of Western. 

As the 2019 Female Athlete of the Year, 2020 recipient of the F.W.P Jones Trophy, and captain of the Mustangs women's hockey team, April has been named both a 1st Team All-Canadian and a 2nd Team OUA All-Star multiple times throughout her five years of playing for Western. In her 2018-19 season, she was also named the OUA Player and Forward of the Year. Her numerous achievements at the higher level speak not only to her skill as an athlete, but her leadership in helping bring the Mustangs to success.
