Having established herself as the greatest goaltender to don the Purple and White of the St. Thomas Tommies, Kenzie Torpy left a lasting legacy destined for legendary status. Graduating in 2019, the pride of Oregon, Wisconsin amassed a superlative 69 career wins, compared to merely 18 losses and 12 ties, recording an impressive 102 appearances plus a sparkling 1.86 Goals Against Average.

One of the greatest recruits in Tommies hockey history, Torpy, who majored in Psychology, arrived with an already impressive hockey resume. At Oregon High School, hockey was not the only sport that the multi-talented Torpy excelled at. Also starring in varsity lacrosse, earning First-Team All-State honors, including a pair of seasons spent playing varsity tennis, the rink was perhaps where she was most brilliant.

Capturing a trio of First Team All-State honors, including the highly prestigious Miss Hockey Wisconsin title, the most cherished accolade may have been the Jessie Vetter Award. Named in the honor of the two-time Olympian and NCAA Frozen Four champion with the Wisconsin Badgers, Vetter holds her own serendipitous connection to Torpy’s hometown, having played for the Oregon Outlaws men’s hockey team in the Great Lakes Hockey League (GLHL). Undeniably, the chance for Torpy to have captured the Award thrice, not only served as a cherished summit, the chance to be associated with one of the greatest American-born goalies ever held profound impact for the accomplished Torpy.
