more diverse and inclusive for young girls of color
Q&A
by Jessi Pierce
TINA KAMPA WASN'T QUITE BORN WITH ICE IN HER VEINS, but she's since dedicated much
of her life to the game as a player. Adopted from Colombia before she was 1 year old, the former
Bemidji State defenseman is now taking on a new role as coach, mentor and community leader.
Kampa, along with former Maple Grove teammate Maia Martinez, founded Minnesota Unbounded,
a group of 10U and 12U hockey teams that welcome young girls of color to the sport she loves.
