Emerance Maschmeyer (born October 5, 1994)[1] is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender for PWHL Ottawa. She is also a member of Canada women's national ice hockey team, with whom she won the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship and the 2022 Winter Olympics gold medal. She first made her debut with Team Canada at the 2014 4 Nations Cup.[2]

Playing career

Maschmeyer was the second female goalie to compete in the Brick Tournament in Edmonton. A meeting was set up at the tournament for her to meet Shannon Szabados, and since then, the two have stayed in contact. She played against her brother Brock, who played for the Fort McMurray Oil Barons, and stopped him in a shootout. Maschmeyer played two exhibition games during the 2010–11 season with the Lloydminster Bobcats of the AJHL. In an exhibition game versus the Camrose Kodiaks, Maschmeyer posted no goals against and was named game star.

Hockey Canada

Maschmeyer won a gold medal with Team Alberta at the 2011 Canada Winter Games. In addition, she claimed gold at the 2009 Alberta Winter Games.[3] She earned a shutout for Team Canada in the gold medal game at the 2012 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship, a 3–0 triumph over the United States.[4]

Maschmeyer competed for the Canadian Under-22 national team that participated at the 2017 Nations Cup.[5] In the gold medal game against Finland, Maschmeyer made 17 saves as Canada lost to Finland by a 1–0 tally.[6]

Maschmeyer has appeared in 3 consecutive IIHF World Championship Tournaments for Canada in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Canada earned silver medals in all three tournaments.

On January 11, 2022, Maschmeyer was named to Canada's 2022 Olympic team.[7][8][9]

NCAA

In March 2012, Maschmeyer committed to play for the Harvard Crimson.[10] Maschmeyer made 29 saves for Harvard in the championship game of the 2015 NCAA National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Tournament.[11]

Professional career

In the 2015 NWHL Draft, she was selected by the Boston Pride. In April 2016, she registered for the 2016 CWHL Draft[12] and ended up becoming the Calgary Inferno's first-round pick.

Winning the starting goaltender duties, Maschmeyer earned a spot in the 3rd Canadian Women's Hockey League All-Star Game. In addition, she started the game for Calgary in the 2017 Clarkson Cup finals versus Les Canadiennes de Montréal.

Following her release from Canada's Centralization Camp in preparation for the 2018 Winter Games, Maschmeyer was traded to Les Canadiennes, becoming their starting goaltender. Erin Ambrose, who had also been released from Centralization, joined Maschmeyer in Montreal, having been traded from the Toronto Furies.

In the 2018–19 season, Maschmeyer gained the second All-Star selection of her career, playing with Alex Rigsby for Team Purple in the 4th Canadian Women's Hockey League All-Star Game. Coincidentally, the two played against each other in the 2019 Clarkson Cup Finals, with Rigsby as the starter for the Calgary Inferno, Maschmeyer's former club. Calgary won, defeating Maschmeyer and Montreal by a 5–2 count.

Following the rival Professional Women's Hockey Players Association and Premier Hockey Federation consolidating into the new Professional Women's Hockey League in 2023, Maschmeyer was one of three initial free agent signings made by PWHL Ottawa. She and fellow Team Canada members Emily Clark and Brianne Jenner were the first players announced by any team in the league.[13][14]


Personal life

Maschmeyer married former Team Canada goaltending teammate Geneviève Lacasse in 2023.[15]
