MeiLan Haberl’s reaction to the pandemic benefitted her in the best way possible. After three years on the boys’ varsity hockey team at Air Academy High School, Haberl earned a scholarship to Yale University. While her first season was cancelled, Haberl decided to take her talent internationally by joining the Austrian Women’s National team. Haberl and the Austrian team narrowly missed the Olympic bid by one goal. However, Haberl would achieve the 2021 Austrian National Champion title with the Vienna Sabres. A force on the ice and in the classroom, Haberl maintains a 3.87 GPA and the NCAA Division I Krampede All-American Scholar from the American Hockey Coaches Association.
