Despite the Walter Cup missing its own party, Darkangelo was the main attraction at an Athleta location in Brighton, where she interacted with young hockey enthusiasts. As a three-year PWHL veteran and champion with the Montreal Victoire, Darkangelo emphasized the importance of her role in growing the sport. She expressed gratitude for being able to give back to her hometown and community. Darkangelo, who played in Montreal during the 2025-26 season, highlighted the significance of teamwork and the bond formed with her teammates. She looks forward to joining the PWHL Detroit team, which is set to begin its inaugural season in the fall of 2026.",
