Playing career
editAs a youth player she began a bench-clearing brawl in a game in which she was the only female playing.[3] Resor played her high school hockey at Noble & Greenough Prep School in Massachusetts where she was coached by her uncle, Tom Resor.[4]
Helen Resor was selected to play for Team USA in the 2006 Olympics.[5] Resor was the first Bulldog to achieve that status, and when she won a bronze medal she became the first Yale hockey player of either gender to earn a medal since five Bulldog men won silver with Team USA in 1932.
