Our Writers:
Katie Leavitt is the Founder and Owner of VGK Ladies. She started the VGK Ladies group back in 2017 to give female VGK fans a space to talk about the Knights that is positive and judgement-free. Her background as an athlete (soccer, hockey, karate, rock climbing, basketball, and more…) causes her to watch hockey from a strategic and mental aspect, which she brings in to her articles. She is married with 2 kids, and has a dog, 2 rabbits, 15 chickens, 2 turtles, and a horse. Aside from caring for her family, animals, and the VGK Ladies community, she also is on the PTA, active in her church, and volunteers for local charities.
