University of Windsor Lancers women’s hockey head coach Deanna Iwanicka is hoping the program is set to turn a corner.

Iwanicka announced the addition of six new recruits on Monday as the Lancers look to make strides in the OUA women’s hockey league after posting a 6-37-3-2 mark in her first two seasons.

“Our focus is now shifting from culture to skill as we build a championship program,” Iwanicka said in a release. “We are thrilled about our recruit class.

“We are bringing in U18 provincial-level players and those who are regarded as top players in their leagues.”

All six recruits are from outside of Essex County and four are from out of province.

With goaltender Molly Jenkins graduating, the Lancers have added goalie Holly Borrett from Sturgeon County, Alta.

Borrett backstopped the St. Albert Slash to three-straight Esso Cup championships and was named the team’s defensive player of the year. Borrett also represented Alberta at the 2019 Canada Games.
