Ashley had moved onto play Women’s A Adult Hockey for the Lady Patriots from 2014-2016 as the Assistant Captain and reaching the championship and winning each year she played. When her playing career came to an end, she decided to relocate to York and become a coach, which was her dream to do after playing.

Ashley then joined the York Lady Devils and Mason Dixon Selects Girls Hockey in 2018-2020 as an assistant coach, winning two championships during those seasons, as well as multiple tournament participations and placing in 1st or 2nd place, no lower. Since then she has been an addiction and mental health therapist for the past several years in York as well as a group fitness and strength & conditioning coach for a local gym, but has decided that hockey is her dream to follow. ‍ Ashley currently resides in York with her border collie Jazz, is a 2008 New England College graduate with a bachelor’s degree in psychology as well as multiple certifications in the field.
