Lexie Adzija (@lexie.adzija with 153,200 total followers) is a Boston based hockey pro and social media star who has been known for a few things since she was young: being super athletic, having a love for the camera.
Until choosing to pursue hockey, Lexie participated in various sports continuing to develop her techniques and passions. Quickly after deciding that she wanted to focus on her hockey career, she earned a spot on the U18 Canada team where she won Bronze at the world championships, and then on the U22 Canada team resulting in a full ride scholarship to Quinnipiac University. Lexie played for the Quinnipiac team for the entirety of her college experience and was named assistant captain in 2021 followed by captain in 2022. Lexie is now based in Boston, and a part of the Senior National Program for team Canada, as well as a professional hockey player in the Professional Women’s Hockey League Boston.
Growing up being a female in hockey who has often been described as “too” muscular, she frequently battled with comments such as this and decided she wanted to model. In 2022 she began modeling for small brands and is continuously trying to break down barriers and stereotypes showing young girls that it is okay to have muscle and that you can still be a fierce competitor and girly too.
Outside of hockey and modeling Lexie enjoys activities such as snowboarding and skiing, pickleball, tennis, running and anything that allows her to get active. She has a passion for helping and working with others, especially young kids, and the elderly. Through her 5 years of university, she frequently volunteered at old age homes and elementary schools and had 1 virtual internship with a non-profit in Uganda where she taught them various platforms to improve their business. Lexie has faced serious injuries, a run in with a tumor and cancer at a young age and a mountain of adversity that has shaped her into the resilient person she is today. These challenges are why she approaches everyday with a smile, counts her blessings and tries to have a positive impact on every person that she meets.
