Wingspan: What teams are you a part of?

Enloe: I play for the Mckinney North Stars and the Frisco Varsity Gold team.”

Wingspan: What is your favorite part about hockey?

Enloe: “Just being with the guys day in and day out, in the locker room. We’re a pretty close knit group, so that’s something I really enjoy.”

Wingspan: Is there about your game that you think needs improvement?

Enloe: “I would just say probably chemistry. There’s a new group of guys each year and we just started so we’re just getting to know each other a little bit better. That will come along through the year.”
