The Buffalo Stars Girls 16U Spotlight Player is forward Mary Kate Mullen.
MK, as she is known by her teammates, started skating with the Stars/Hornets Organization at the age of four. She comes from a hockey family where her three older brothers Justin, Tommy John and Ryan were also lifelong Stars/Hornets. Her younger brother Aaron is the Stars/Hornets Little Ambassador.
MK is a junior at Cleveland Hill High School where she is an honor roll student and plays Volleyball, Basketball and Softball. She is also involved in Student Government. Since her younger brother and a friend on hockey team are hearing impaired, MK has learned sign language so she can better communicate with them. It is something she is seriously considering to study when she attends college.
In her spare time she volunteers at SABAH. Hockey remains her favorite activity and she loves playing for Coach Dawn and Coach Norm.
