Early life

At a young age, Hruska was involved in many sports, including ballet, tap dancing, softball, baseball, figure skating, and ringette.[4] Having originally learned to skate on figure skates, Hruska's parents enrolled her in power skating to teach her to skate on hockey skates.[4] Growing up in Winnipeg, Hruska joined a ringette team, where she enjoyed the team's cooperation, closeness, and team spirit.[4] Hruska made A-level ringette teams in Winnipeg and eventually became a strong ringette player by the age of 14.

Playing career

At the age of 15, Hruska made the APFG Sixers, a AA provincial team.[4] Hruska and the Sixers won the provincial championships and went on to represent Manitoba at the National Championships. Hruska was continually asked to represent Manitoba every year that followed, eventually helping Team Manitoba capture silver at the 1999 Canada Winter Games.[4]

As her playing career continued, she tried out for Team Canada and made the team in time for the 2002 World Ringette Championships in Edmonton, Alberta where Team Canada won gold defeating Finland 3-1.[1][4] Hruska represented Team Canada once again at the 2004 World Ringette Championships in Stockholm, Sweden, where she was a key player in their victory.[4]

In 2009 Hruska helped Team Canada capture the silver medal at the World Bandy Championships.[3]
