Gwyneth Philips, the top goaltender in NCAA women’s ice hockey, starts her workday at 6:30 a.m. by spending a nurturing half-hour with her dog, Paris. After breakfast and a rush-hour drive from Northeastern’s Boston campus to nearby Chelsea, she works from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. as a co-op at Harbor House Collective, a small family-owned cannabis company.
By 5 p.m. Philips is back on campus to begin an intensive evening of practice on the ice at Matthews Arena.
