VANCOUVER, B.C. - Former Brown women's hockey and softball standout Amanda Asay has been announced as a member of the Class of 2024 for the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame.

Induction into the BC Sports Hall of Fame is the highest sporting honor in British Columbia, celebrating the extraordinary individuals and moments that make up the fabric of B.C.'s diverse sport history.
