If she did not play hockey Mariella would do swimming, she used to play netball but it damaged her knees.
When asked how hockey makes her feel, Mariella said, “it feels good to exercise and get a run around. If I am annoyed about anything I like to have a bit of a rough game and get some anger out. It feels good when we win, but I hate losing especially when we have had a good game”.
