She plans to play for the University of Washington, which means she could face Pili a couple of times next season.<\/li>\n<li>Jeremy Swayman, 24, one of the NHL top young goalies who has spent the last two months rotating in goal for the mighty Boston Bruins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Along with the Pride of Alaska winners, the recipients of three other Directors Awards were announced Wednesday.
