When CBC's Citizen Shane heard about 11-year-old ringette player Grace Kemp's dream, he was intrigued, but it was what she wrote next that really got his attention.

When she was in Grade 2, the Surrey student was inspired by a player she met from the National Ringette League and made a vow to make something happen when she became a grown-up.

But as we learn in this latest instalment of Citizen Shane, Grace didn't have to wait nearly that long.
