DENVER, Co. - (December 9, 2023) During the intermission of the hockey game at Sports Arena Military Appreciation Night, a uniquely inspiring moment unfolded as Master-At-Arms First Class Petty Officer Meghan Collins, proudly donned in uniform, stepped onto the ice for a puck shot. The arena, normally filled with the echoes of skates and sticks, hushed in anticipation. With the spotlight on Petty Officer Collins, there was a palpable sense of honor and respect in the air. Gripping the hockey stick with a disciplined precision reminiscent of her naval training, she took aim at the puck. As the puck gracefully slid across the ice, the crowd erupted into cheers, appreciating the athletic display and the symbolic connection between the Sailor's journey and the resilience embodied in the game. It was a halftime pause that transcended sports, creating a bridge between the dedication of those who serve our nation and the spirit of camaraderie inherent in the world of hockey.
