Kristina Walker will never be known as the most vocal person or be named captain of any team. However one thing she will do is quietly play her game to the best of her abilities each and every night. Entering the season Walker was an unknown nobody knew if the reports were true or even if shed work hard to improve herself. 9 games into her career and shes currently tied for the lead in team scoring with 9 points a good pace for a rookie especially on a team struggling to score. Walker is a quiet leader and currently centers the 2nd and 3rd line taking a majority of the teams face offs. Her best assets are her ability to skate and dish the puck to her teammates for easy goals noticed by her 8 assists. She also can be counted on in all 3 zones and play big minutes for her team she thrives under pressure and wants to be a difference maker every shift.

However Walker isn't afraid to point out the flaws in her game either. Walker will never be a big checker at 5'8 shes too small and rather needs to use her speed to avoid physical play. She also wont put a lot of pucks in the back of the net her shot is something she says she wants to work on in the future. Walker will likely go on to a solid but unspectacular career where she hopes to be a key piece on a few teams cup runs.
