Cambridge-Isanti junior Aly Niebur has been on fire this season, leading her team to several wins with her uncanny ability to find the net.
On Dec. 26, Niebur had a career game, setting three new state records in the process.
While playing against the Northland Pine Eagles in the Schwan’s Cup, Niebur scored three goals in 15 seconds. She was not done there, as she tacked on a fourth goal in the same period, good for her second state record.
She ended her big game by racking up an unprecedented seven points in just one game. Her opponents know just how good she can be on the ice, and now her efforts will be set in Minnesota State Hockey immortality.
Niebur is still racking up points for the Bluejackets. She is leading the team with 15 goals, and 11 assists, totaling 26 points this season.
Head Coach Corey Bustrom has seen Niebur put in the work, and is thrilled to see it paying off on the ice.
“Her academic skills match her hockey skills. Aly has a terrific work ethic and shows that through the success she has on and off the ice. Aly is a leader on our team and vying for a spot as team captain for next season,” he said.
Niebur is used to preforming at a high level, and as Bustrom mentioned, it has not gone unnoticed in the hockey community.
“Her hard work and dedication is paying off and she has gained the attention of NCAA Division I colleges from around the country. Aly has been playing girls varsity hockey since seventh-grade and some of her best accomplishments to date include participating in the USA Hockey National
Girls Select 15 Development Camp in 2015 and the Final 54 in 2016,” Bostrom added.
