The St. Anselm Hawks compete in the Northeast Ten Conference and at the NCAA Division II level. McCready and Spinale are the latest in a long-line of recent Bulldogs to trade in their green and white for the blue and white of St. A's.
Maggie McCready is coming off of a phenomenal senior Field Hockey season that saw her team post an overall record of 17-5 while advancing to the Elite 8 before falling to eventual champion Reading, 2-1 (OT.)
McCready was a huge contributor to the success of the team, not only this year but during her entire time at CHS. This year saw the 2023 captain recognized by the Hockomock League as an All-Star. In the off-season, McCready plays for Patriot Field Hockey Club.
Bulldog Coach Chrissy O'Connor had this to say about her future Hawk-
"Maggie was the anchor of our team this season. Her hard work and willingness to put in the work in the off-season is why she'll make a great addition to the St. Anselm Field Hockey program."

Contributing to Field Hockey was only 1/3rd of her Bulldog playing career as she has also been a star of our Indoor Track (and captain) and Lacrosse teams as well- making a huge impact in both.
McCready had this to say about her upcoming transition to collegiate athletics-
"I want to say thank you to all of my coaches and my family for helping me along the way. I am excited to compete at the next level. I would not be here without Canton High School Field Hockey."

Devan Spinale will be leading the Girls Lacrosse program in her final season this upcoming spring. Last spring saw Spinale notch her 100th point as a varsity lacrosse player for the Bulldogs while leading the team to a MIAA tournament berth.
A three-sport captain and standout, Spinale is fresh-off a successful soccer season that saw her team advance to the Elite 8. She has been a huge contributor on the Girls Ice Hockey team during the past three seasons, resulting in two trips to the State Championship (no tournament was held due to Covid in 2021).
Spinale is a go-to student at CHS when it comes to needing someone to step-up and help out with anything.
CHS Girls Lacrosse Coach- Casey Bradley (who has since moved on to coach at Framingham State University) had this to say of Spinale-

Spinale had this to say about her upcoming transition to collegiate athletics-
"I want to give the most important thank you to my coaches and teammates at Mass Elite, who have been the ultimate supporters throughout my whole process. I want to thank my parents for their endless support and being my biggest fans. I also want to thank my brothers- Brendan and Shane- who have showed me how with hard work you can achieve your goals and for them being great student athlete role models at the collegiate level to look up to. And lastly, I want to thank all of my friends and teammates who have helped and supported me to reach the next level."
