Teen Hits 100 Points, First in a Decade for Girls Hockey

A high school senior just joined an exclusive club that's been waiting for a new member since 2014.

Elle Mone, captain of the Martha's Vineyard Regional High School girls' varsity hockey team, scored her 100th career point last Friday. She's only the second female player in school history to reach this milestone, following Aubrey Ashman who achieved it nearly a decade ago.

The Vineyarders dominated the game against Barnstable High School, winning 11-3. But the real victory was watching Elle add another name to her school's record books.

What makes this achievement even more special is Elle's humble take on her own success. "I thought I was going to do it, but I didn't know for sure," she said after the game.

She credits four years of consistent effort for getting her there. "It took going to practices and games these past four years, trying to get better, and just showing up," Elle explained.

But here's where the story gets even better. Instead of claiming all the glory, Elle immediately pointed to her teammates as the real MVPs behind her milestone.

"My line mates have given me a lot of points because of the goals they've scored and the passes they've given me," she said. That kind of team-first attitude explains why she's wearing the captain's C on her jersey.

Why This Inspires

Elle's journey shows that breakthrough moments don't happen overnight. They're built through four years of early morning practices, tough losses, and choosing to show up even when you're not sure if the goal is within reach.

Her recognition of her teammates reminds us that individual milestones are rarely solo achievements. Behind every 100-point scorer are the passers who set up the play, the defenders who started the breakout, and the coaches who believed in the system.

For young athletes watching from the stands or sitting in youth hockey programs, Elle just proved that records are meant to be broken. A 10-year gap just ended, and the next player to hit 100 might be lacing up their skates right now.
