For Nanashi Mumei, this season was a season of growing pains. The grizzlies finished ninth in the SMJHL standings despite starting the first half of the season in the basement of the league. Similarly, Mumei was placed initially on the third line, but would be promoted up to the second line alongside teammate Grindle Waters-Johnson. Mumei would put up 27 points in 66 games. She needs to improve on how to stay out of the penalty box, as she had 22 penalty minutes, which is too much. She also needs to be more clutch in the playoffs, as she only had 8 points and one goal in 14 playoff games this season.

One of the most glorious moments in her first flight in the J was scoring her first career goal against Newfoundland. The second moment was forming a partnership between herself and Waters-Johnson, including assisting and scoring goals off eachover with precision and a line chemistry not seen in the J in many seasons.
