Mount Allison Mounties women's ice hockey

College ice hockey team

The Mount Allison Mounties women's ice hockey program represents the Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick, in the Atlantic University Sport conference of U Sports. The Mounties play at Tantramar Veterans Memorial Civic Centre.

History

In 2011, Andrea Switalski made program history, becoming the first Mounties player to win a major U Sports (known as Canadian Interuniversity Sport back then) Award. The recipient of the Marion Hilliard Award, said award recognizes a player who best exhibits outstanding balance between athletic achievement, academics, and community service. As a side note, Switalski had also won the Mounties Chris Young Memorial Award in 2008, recognizing the team's Rookie of the Year.

Hired on July 30, 2020, Lucrèce Nussbaum, a former member of the Switzerland women's national ice hockey team and participant in ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics, was hired as head coach for the Mounties.^[1]

Former Mounties captain Kenzie Lalonde became the first female ever to do television play by play for a Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) game on television.^[2] Of note, she called the March 14, 2021 game between Halifax and Charlottetown for Eastlink.^[3]
