The Soyko sisters will bring their talents to Lethbridge next season.

Abby Soyko and Alli Soyko, who are the Prince Albert hockey playing duo of the Soyko triplets, committed to the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns women’s hockey team.

“We are happy that Abby and Alli Soyko have committed to the Pronghorns for the 2020-2021 season,” Pronghorns Head Coach Doug Paisley said in a statement. “Abby and Alli come with great experience playing on good midget teams including the 2016-17 P.A. Bears that won the SFMAAAHL and earned the opportunity to play in the 2017 Esso Cup.”

“Both are hardworking, gritty players with high hockey IQ and both will have an immediate positive impact on our lineup next season and we are looking forward to them joining the Pronghorn Family come next September.”

Both Abby and Alli are playing on the Northern Alberta Extreme of the Canadian Sports School Hockey League in their 18-year-old season. Abby leads the team with seven goals and 14 points in 15 games. Alli is fourth in team scoring with three goals and eight points in 14 games.
