riel Magidson could
barely skate when she first
began playing hockey at
age 10. Eight years later, she's a second
team All-State selection and a future
college player.
Magidson just com-
pleted a stellar four-
year career at center
for Bloomfield Hills
Cranbrook-Kingswood.
The Detroit resident was
a member of Cranbrook-
Kingswood's Michigan
Maqidson
Metro Girls High School
Hockey League state
championship team
when she was a sopho-
more, and she had a
combined 50 goals and
29 assists as a junior and
senior.
She made the All-
Belen
League team three times,
and she was Cranbrook-Kingswood's
most valuable player as a junior and a
tri-captain as a senior.
Magidson accomplished all that
despite the distractions of losing a
coach to cancer just before the begin-
ning of her junior season and having
another coach fired just before this
year's state playoffs.
Coach Lance Wissmueller died of
colon cancer Oct. 18,2005, at age 35,
only a few months after he guided
Cranbrook-Kingswood to a surprising
3-2 upset of Grosse Pointe South in
double-overtime in the state champi-
onship game. Wissmueller had fought
the disease for 3 1/a years.
Cranbrook-Kingswood made it to
the state championship game this sea-
son before falling 5-2 to undefeated
Plymouth-Canton-Salem. Magidson
scored a hat trick in her team's 5 - 2
win over Livonia Ladywood in the
state semifinals.
"I really like hockey. I like playing it
and watching it," Magidson said. "Once
I learned to skate and started playing,
I got the hang of it really quickly."
Magidson spent five years in the
Detroit Dragons travel program of
the Detroit Hockey Association before
high school. She was captain of the
Dragons' under-age-12 girls team.
The next stop on Magidson's hockey
tour is Lake Forest College in sub-
urban Chicago. She'll join an NCAA
Division III program that's entering its
eighth season. The Foresters were 11-
7-7 last year.
To help get ready for the rigors
of college hockey, Magidson
played field hockey for
Cranbrook last fall and she's
playing lacrosse this spring. It's
her first experience with both
sports.
Liz Belen of Birmingham
was another veteran on this
year's Cranbrook-Kingswood
girls hockey team. The senior
winger had six goals and eight
assists. Belen would have been
a four-year player, but she
missed her junior season after
undergoing surgery for a torn
ACL suffered when she was
tackled during the school's
powder puff football game.
"I wanted to be part of the
hockey team even if I couldn't play, so
I was the student manager when I was
a junior," Belen said.
Belen is headed to Washington
University in St. Louis to study art.
Junior forward Anna Canis and
sophomore defenseman Anne Jacob
also contributed to Cranbrook-
Kingswood's 2006-07 season. Callis
had two goals and eight assists and
Jacob had four assists.
