Wendy is originally from Scotland and emigrated to Canada in 2000, and today had the pleasure of officiating her 100th match in her native Scotland.

She got involved umpringin in Calgary as a way to give back to local associations and takes great pride in being involved in field hockey from a grassroots level to the international stage.
