A Colorado native, Melissa has been in love with sports since she was a child. Growing up with the Orange Crush and the Three Amigos, football was the dominant sport, but it had a strong rival in hockey and watching the Colorado Flames play at McNichols Arena. Melissa has been a Avalanche fan since they played at McNichols, but while she has enjoyed some of the other local teams, she has been most passionate about lacrosse since the Mammoth came to town.
