At the beginning of each season the Huskies hold an annual “Strongwoman Competition”

which includes events such as the tire flip, sled pull and ‘Move the Mountain’.

The competition takes place in the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The 85,000 square foot training center is located on campus and is the most modern facility of its kind in the

country.

For the past seven years, Connecticut has joined Hockey East in raising funds for Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer.

The 2011-12 UConn women’s ice hockey team also helped out at a local community center this past

school year, painting rooms and hallways to give the center an updated look.

The UConn women’s ice hockey team continued their annual tradition of hosting a “Skate With The Huskies” event, where

kids from the local communities came to select games through-out the season and were able to skate with the team following

the contests.

At the helm of the University of Connecticut women’s ice hockey program since its inception, head coach Heather Linstad is set to guide the Huskies in her 13th season behind the bench. Linstad has led the Huskies to seven Hockey East tournament appearances over the past 10 seasons, including WHEA Championship appearances during 2009-10 and 2004-05. She has mentored six student-athletes to major Hockey East awards, includ-ing Alexandra Garcia who received Player of the Year Runner-Up honors following the 2010-11 season. Linstad has been a head coach for 20 seasons, spending the last 12 at UConn, collecting 158 of her 319 career victories with the Huskies. On Feb-ruary 13, 2010, with a 4-1 victory over Providence, Linstad captured her 300th career victory to become one of just six Division I women’s ice hockey coaches to achieve 300 or more wins in their career. That win placed Linstad among the elite, as there are only seven head coaches in either Division I or Division III women’s ice hockey to have won 300 or more games. This past January, Linstad served as the head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Under-18 team at the IIHF World Championship in the Czech Re-public. Team USA cruised through group play with a perfect 3-0 record, while outscoring opponents, 28-1. In the semifinals, the Americans dismantled Germany, 7-1 before falling to Canada in the gold medal game. Linstad began working with the squad during the USA Hockey Women’s National Festival in June of 2011. The first competition for Linstad and the U18 team came as a three-game series against Canada held in late August, in which the U.S. team captured a 3-2 victory in the opening contest. Linstad has also been a coach at the USA National Hockey Festival in Lake Placid, N.Y. five times, including the 1997 Festival which was an Olympic selection year. She has coached USA Hockey Junior Development Camps for athletes ranging from 14 to 18 years of age, while also taking part in the USA Rocky Mountain District Camp from 1996 through 2002 and again in 2004. Linstad served as the head coach of the Australian National Team in Sydney in July of 1996. Linstad and the Huskies had an up and down season during 2010-11, facing one of their toughest schedules to date. Nine of UConn’s games were against ranked opponents, including two against Minnesota Duluth, the 2010 national champion and three against Boston University, the 2011 national champion runner-up. Despite the tough regular season, the Huskies qualified for the WHEA Tournament for the fifth consecutive season. During the 2009-10 season, the Huskies reached the highest national ranking in program history when they were ranked No. 7 for two-consecutive weeks, ending the season at No. 9 according to the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Poll. Connecticut spent 11 weeks among the nationally-ranked women’s ice hockey programs that season, while they also spent eight weeks among the top teams during 2008-09. Linstad and the UConn coaching staff guided the team to a 21-9-7 overall record and a fourth-place finish in the Hockey East standings during the 2009-10 season. The Huskies earned a place in the WHEA Championship game for the second time in program history, ultimately falling to NCAA Quarterfinal participant Boston University. Cristin Allen, Michelle Binning and Amy Hollstein all earned spots on the Hockey East All-Tournament Team, giving UConn the most number of honorees since joining the WHEA. The 2008-09 season saw Linstad lead the team to its third-consecutive Hockey East Tournament berth with a 10-8-3 conference record. UConn finished the season with a 19-12-4 overall mark, that included a nine-game winning streak, during which the Huskies defeated eventual national runner-up Mercyhurst at Mark Edward Freitas Ice Forum. UConn defended its Nutmeg Classic Title with its third-consecutive such championship, hosting Wayne State, Yale and Quinnipiac during the annual tournament. Linstad mentored a trio of student-athletes to post-season recognition that season, with Cristin Allen and Dominique Thibault each earning spots on the All-Hockey East Second Team while Brittany Wilson garnered honorable mention accolades. Allen was also honored with a spot on the New England Writers’ All-Star Team, becoming the sixth Connecticut student-athlete to do so. In 2009-10, Allen followed with her second-consecutive such honor, becoming the first Connecticut player to earn a spot on the New England Writers’ All-Star Team twice in their career. At the time, it was arguably the most successful season in women’s ice hockey history in Storrs, although the achievements of Linstad and her 2009-10 team challenged the 2007-08 squad that laid the foundation for success to come. The Huskies set a program-high for wins in a single season (22) and achieved the most number of Hockey East victories (13) in program history. En route to the nine-game winning streak that was tied in 2008-09, the 2007-08 Huskies won four games over nationally ranked opponents and set a plateau yet to be reached – an 11-game unbeaten streak. In addition to the team accolades achieved throughout the 2007-08 season, two individu-als were acknowledged for the contributions to the team. Dominique Thibault was named the program’s first ever Hockey East Player of the Year and All-American. Jaclyn Hawkins became the team’s first student-athlete to earn the Sports-manship Award, capping off one of the most successful women’s ice hockey careers in Husky Hockey. During the 2006-07 season, the Huskies de-feated or tied five of the eight teams that ad-vanced to the NCAA Tournament en route to their conference tournament appearance. UConn won 17 games, including 12 conference victories with four wins over nationally-ranked programs. All program-bests would last just one year though, as Linstad and the Huskies set new records the following season. Among a season of highlights, UConn was the only team to hand eventual Frozen Four participant, Boston Col-lege a pair of losses at home. Following a stellar rookie campaign, Hawkins was a record setter,

creating new plateaus in career goals, assists and points and was one of four different Connecticut players to take hardware home from the 2006-07 Hockey East Banquet. In a season hampered by injuries, the 2005-06 Huskies fell in the Nutmeg Classic title game a year after capturing the championship for the first time. UConn concluded the season with a 12-21-1 overall record that included a 10-11-0 mark in Hockey East action. Midway through the year, four Con-necticut student-athletes were selected to the Hockey East All-Star Team, which was led by Linstad, that took on Team USA in an exhibition game. The senior class of 2004-05 achieved one of their objectives, ending the year among the top 10 programs in the nation according to both the USCHO.com and USA Today/American Hockey Maga-zine polls after finishing the season with a 16-12-8 record. UConn put a cap on an 11-5-4 Hockey East regular season record en route to a third-place finish in the final conference standings. The Hus-kies advanced to their first ever appearance in the championship game, falling to defending champion Providence. Linstad’s players garnered weekly awards from the Hockey East and USCHO for their play throughout the season, culminating in a variety of postseason accolades. Hawkins was named both the Hockey East and USCHO Rookie of the Year while also earning spots on the All-Hockey East Rookie and Second Teams. Netminder Kaitlyn Shain also earned a spot on the second team while Natalie Vib-ert received first team honors. In addition to invaluable guidance on the ice, Linstad emphasizes success in the classroom and has mentored her student-athletes to achieve off the ice as well. Overall, 40 student-athletes have collected Hockey East All-Academic Team Honors over the past nine years. In 2004, a program-high 15 student-athletes were acknowledged by the conference for their academic prowess. Last season, Alexandra Garcia, Jaclyn Camardo and Nicole Camardo became three-time honorees, as nine Huskies have now earned All-Academic honors at least three times during their careers. Lisa Beck was twice named the Top Student-Athlete by the conference, earning the highest grade-point average (GPA) among the league’s defenders in 2004 and 2005. A highlight among Connecticut’s academic achievements, Beck tied for the Top Scholar Athlete average with a 4.0 GPA. In accordance with mentoring student-athletes toward success beyond hockey, Linstad has in-stilled a sense of community awareness within the women’s ice hockey program at Connecticut. For the sixth-straight season UConn headlined the Hockey East’s Breast Cancer Awareness fundraising program, Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer, raising $9,000 during the 2010-11 season. The Huskies continue to expand their impact on the conference-wide fundraising program and have raised well over $40,000 since the program began six years ago. Expanding their community involvement has also seen the Huskies create a Christmas evening for a YMCA girls’ home with Linstad’s team supplying the tree, ornaments, lights and gifts while sharing pizza, in an effort to create invaluable memories. Most recently, the Huskies spent time painting rooms at a local community center and reading with students at Connecticut elementary schools. A native of Chlemsford, Mass., Linstad came to Connecticut after compiling a 161-71-27 overall re-cord at the helm of the Northeastern University women’s ice hockey team for eight seasons. While at Northeastern, Linstad guided those Huskies to four Beanpot titles and earned one of the four berths to the first-ever collegiate Women’s Ice Hockey National Championship Tournament (AWCHA) in 1998. Before that, Linstad guided Northeastern to the ECAC Championship in 1997 while boasting a then-school-record 27 wins. Just prior to joining UConn, Linstad was inducted to the Chelmsford High School Hall of Fame in 2000. Linstad, a 1989 graduate of Providence College, earned a degree in business administration while representing the Friars in three varsity sports. She was team captain for three of the four seasons she played on the women’s ice hockey team, scoring 76 goals and adding 72 assists. Linstad is 16th on Providence’s all-time career points list, 10th in goals and 18th in assists. She was awarded the 1989 ECAC Player of the Year Award and continues to hold the distinction of being the only individual to earn the ECAC Player of the Year Award and the ECAC Coach of the Year Award. In addition to her outstanding ice hockey career at Providence, Linstad played three seasons of soccer and spent a year on the softball squad. Linstad currently resides in Vernon, Conn. with her black lab, Sydney.

Jaime totten

aSSiStant CoaCH - 13tH SeaSon

As an instrumental part of the UConn foundation, Jaime Totten enters her 13th season as an assistant coach for the University of Con-necticut women’s ice hockey program. Totten has been with the program since its inception and she will continue to be an integral part of head coach Heather Linstad’s staff. Totten will resume her position as the recruiting coordinator for Connecticut as she has since the day she began, continually bringing in student-athletes who make an immediate impact on the ice and in the classroom. In addition to her recruiting responsibilities, Totten runs the defensive end of the bench, assists in daily practices and preparations, directs special teams plays and directs the team alumni efforts. Under her tutelage, Cristin Allen became the first-ever Connecticut player to be named to the New England Writer’s All-Star Team twice in her career, doing so following the 2009-10 season. Allen also earned back-to-back All-Hockey East accolades and was named the league’s inaugural Best Defensemen with the guidance of Totten. Since 2004, three UConn defensemen have earned eight All-Hockey East honors. Totten served as an assistant coach with the 2009-10 Hockey East All-Star Team that included Allen, Amy Hollstein, and Jody Sydor. The Hockey East All-Stars played Team USA prior to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics as part of the National Team’s Qwest Tour. During the 2009-10 season, Totten helped guide the Huskies to their highest ever national ranking at No. 7, surpassing the plateau of the eighth-national ranking set by the 2004-05 squad. The 2009-10 team also matched the 2004-05 squad in earning Connecticut’s second Hockey East Championship Game appearance. In 2008, she served as an assistant coach for the USA Women’s Na-tional Under-22 program against Canada for a three-game series in Au-gust. She was responsible for assisting with daily practices and instructing the defensive end of the bench. Totten was also chosen to work with the USA Hockey Under-14 Select Camp in 2007 in Rochester, N.Y. In addi-tion, she coached the Select 16’s and 17’s that same year at the Junior National Camp in Lake Placid, N.Y. Prior to her coaching career, Totten was a mainstay at several USA Hockey Camps and Festivals as a player. She served as an assistant cap-tain on the 1995 Junior National Team and participated in the 1997 USA Festival during the 1998 Olympic Team selections. Totten appeared in every single game of her four-year varsity ca-reer at Northeastern. She was twice the recipient of All-America honors while serving as captain in 1997-98 and 1998-99. Following the 1996-97 season, Totten earned ECAC First Team All-Star Honors after helping Northeastern to the ECAC Conference Title, finishing the season with a then-school record 27-9-0. Her on and off the ice leadership combined with her sportsmanship earned Totten the prestigious Sarah Devins Award from the ECAC as a senior. After graduating with honors, earning a bachelor’s degree in cardio-pulmonary science with a concentration in exercise physiology, Totten served as student-assistant coach for her alma mater during the 1999-2000 season. She was awarded the National Student Athlete Award and was named a Scholar Athlete during her career. A native of Stafford, N.Y., Totten currently resides in Mansfield Cen-ter, Conn.

A strong, experienced core of veterans and a large, talented crop of young players look to lead the University of Connecticut women’s ice hockey team and head coach Heather Linstad into the pro-gram’s 13th season.

The challenge for the 2012-13 Huskies will be to find consistency in scoring after averaging just 1.62 goals per game. A year ago, UConn was carried by its goaltending and defense. Connecticut owned the top penalty kill in the league at 88.4% and looks to build on that this season, while trying to replace a pair of experienced goaltenders, including four-year starter Alexandra Garcia.

The battle between the pipes will be between junior transfer Sarah Moses and freshman Elaine Chuli. Moses spent that last two years at Niagara before the Purple Eagles’ program was folded. Last sea-son, she posted a 5-7-5 record with 435 saves. For her career, Mo-ses owns a .900 save percentage and 2.90 goals against average.

Chuli is a familiar face to coach Linstad after appearing on the U-18 Canada National Team at the IIHF World Championship in the Czech Republic last year, the team that defeated coach Lin-stad’s U-18 Team USA in the goal medal contest. In 2011, Chuli led Team Ontario Red to the U-18 National Championship and this past summer she participated in the National Goaltending Camp at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary.

“I’m excited for the two goalies that we have,” stated Linstad. “Elaine Chuli is a freshman who comes from playing with the Un-der-18 in Canada and Sarah Moses is the goalie who transferred from Niagara. In looking at her stats, she did pretty well against conference opponents in Hockey East last year. You have to count on your goaltending to be solid. Usually, one of our fortes is goal-tending here at UConn so I think we’ll be fine in the net.”

Sophomore Emily Walsh joined the team mid-way through last sea-son and will also look to compete for playing time in the crease.

The Huskies will also look to a new group of leaders for the upcom-ing season in seniors Maude Blain, Kelly Horan and Casey Knajdek.

“I do think that we have three very good seniors that are going to lead the show in Casey Knajdek, Kelly Horan and Maude Blain. I think the older kids will lead the young kids, but I think we’ve got a renewed, fresh energy that will do us well in conference and out of conference.”

Blain will anchor the defense after totaling eight points on one score and seven assists and despite missing 10 games last season. Over the last three seasons, Knajdek has shown the ability to play center and on the blue line; dishing out three assists last year. Meanwhile, Horan looks to have a bounce-back season after her scoring pro-duction was cut in half from each of her first two seasons. She totaled 18 points in each of her first two years, but registered just nine as a junior on three goals and six assists.

Leading the offensive attack up top for Connecticut is a pair of sophomores in Emily Snodgrass and Kayla Campero, who are the top two returning scorers. Snodgrass led the squad in all major

offensive categories with nine goals, 12 assists and 21 points. Campero was second in goals with seven and added seven assists to finish third with 14 total points. Snodgrass posted a team-best four power play goals, while Campero added a pair.

Junior forward Stephanie Raithby also adds a veteran presence to the UConn offense. She hasn’t missed a step, skating in 69 career games, netting 19 points on eight goals and 11 assists.

Along with Snodgrass and Campero, sophomores Rachel Farrel and Sarah Mac-Donnell showed promise as rookies. Farrel found the back of the net four times and added three assists as MacDonnell scored three times and chipped in one helper.

“I really do believe that we’ve got a good core group in our sophomores. Emily Snodgrass led the team [in scoring], but I think a kid like Sarah MacDonnell, who also played for the U-18 in Canada, she’s got some offensive punch. Caitlin Hewes, who’s on defense, Rachel Farrell and the sophomore group took it serious what they had to do in the spring and what they wanted to do in the summer and I think that they’ve come in with the attitude of making sure that they have in impact.”

New to the ranks up top will be freshmen Brittany Berisoff, Leah Burres, Michela Cava and Margaret Zimmer.

“All four have skill sets that compliment each other very well, will help the team both offensively and defensively and ignite our offense. When I look at all of the young kids, I think it is early to tell, but I think that they will develop very quickly.”

Hewes and junior Kiana Nauheim return alongside Blain on the blue line. As a freshman, Hewes scored four times and picked up four assists. Nauheim, who has played in every game over the last two years, has seven career points, including four assists coming a year ago.

The newcomers aim to bulk up the Husky defense. Junior Erin Burns arrives in Storrs after stints in Syracuse and Niagara. After beginning her playing career for the Orange, where she totaled eight points over 38 games in parts of two seasons, she transferred to play for the Purple Eagles. In her final season at NU, Burns skated in 33 games and recorded eight points on one goal and seven assists.

“Burns is a true defensive-defenseman with the ability to move the puck and start and offensive break. She brings experience and leadership qualities that will be a welcome addition to the locker room.”

Freshmen Alice Hughes and Cassandra Opela round out the UConn defensemen. Both played locally during their prep school careers. Hughes starred at Brewster Academy in

New Hampshire, while Opela skated for the Boston Shamrocks.

The 2012-13 season gets underway at Union on Saturday, September 29. Hockey East play picks up with a road series at Maine on October 20 and 21. The Huskies are home for the first time, after a seven-game road trip, when they host Syracuse for a weekend series on October 26 and 27.

Connecticut hosts non-conference games against Syracuse, St. Lawrence (Nov. 18) and Princeton (Jan. 2-3). UConn will visit Union, RPI (Oct., 5-6), Colgate (Oct. 12-13), Harvard (Jan. 15) and will participate in the Nutmeg Classic hosted by Yale with a semi-final matchup against the Bulldogs.

The Hockey East Championship is scheduled for March 9-10 in Hyannis, Mass., with the quarterfi-nal round taking place between March 2 and 4. For the first time in league history, all eight teams will qualify for the post season.

2011-12 season reviewConnecticut played to a seventh place finish in Hockey East last season with a 3-15-3 league record and remained in the playoff-hunt into the final weekend of the season. Overall, the Huskies posted a 4-23-7 record, with all four wins coming at the Freitas Ice Forum.

UConn was 0-5-2 in its first seven games, including ties against RPI and Clarkson plus a one-goal loss to No. 5 Min-nesota-Duluth. The Huskies posted their first win of the season with a home WHEA contest against Maine (10/22),

3-0. Sami Evelyn scored the game-winning goal and Nicole Paniccia stopped 31 shots for her first career shutout, earning the WHEA Defensive Player of the Week award.

Emily Snodgrass was named the WHEA Rookie of the Week on November 21 for her efforts in a 1-1 weekend for UConn. She totaled three points on two goals and an assist, including a pair of scores at No. 5 Boston University and an assist in a 3-0 home win over Vermont.

On Thanksgiving weekend, Connecticut hosted the Nutmeg Classic; bringing intra-state rivals Quinnipiac and Yale along with Robert Morris to Storrs. The Huskies fell in the semifinal round to Quinnipiac, 4-2, and later defeated Yale, 3-1, behind goals from Jocelyn Slattery, Caitlin Hewes and Snodgrass.

Kayla Campero pulled in the team’s third weekly award as she claimed the WHEA Rookie of the Week award on December 5, following a pair of 2-2 ties at Vermont.

Campero netted three goals against the Catamounts, including one game-tying goal and two power play scores.

Snodgrass earned her second Rookie of the Week award on February 6 after Connecticut posted a 1-1 record with a 3-2 loss at No. 7 Northeastern and a 6-3 win over New Hampshire. She tallied three points on two scores and an assist. Snodgrass found the back of the net for her fourth power play goal of the season at NU and added an insurance goal and an assist in the home win over UNH.

The Huskies entered the final weekend of the season still in the running for a playoff spot. Facing No. 9 Boston University, Connecticut fell short with back-to-back one-goal losses, 3-2 in overtime at home and 2-1 on the road. Alexandra Garcia totaled 82 saves, 41 in each game, in her final two appearances for UConn.

Snodgrass led the Huskies in all major scoring categories with nine goals, 12 assists and 16 points. Maggie Walsh landed second with 16 total points, tying Snodgrass with 12 assists to go with four scores. Campero (7, 7) and Slattery (6, 8) tied for third with 14 total points.

In net, Garcia started 18 games, while Paniccia got the nod 16 times. Paniccia held a 2.56 goals against average, .926 save percentage and 4-10-3 record. Garcia owned a 3.03 GAA and .911 save percentage in the crease.

Strength and Conditioning Maureen Butler • Asst. Strength & Conditioning CoachThe strength and conditioning program for the University of Connecticut is under the supervision of UConn Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Jerry Martin. The Strength and Conditioning staff services all 24 of Connecticut’s intercollegiate teams. Assisting directly with the Strength and conditioning efforts for UConn hockey is strength and conditioning staff member Maureen Butler. Butler has worked with the USA Women's Hockey U-18 team. UConn hockey players have the use of two different weight rooms in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and the newly remodeled Hugh S. Greer Field House. In all, there are over 8,000 square feet of weight training facilities available for all UConn student-athletes. The weight room in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion is a free weight facility and supplies the Husky student-athletes areas in which to perform their power and Olympic lifts. The facility in the Greer Field House is fitted with more free weights in which the UConn hockey players can incorporate circuit training, speed training and heavy negative workouts into their total strength-training program.

Jerry Martin and his staff supervise a strength and conditioning program for each individual athlete for training all year long. Each program can be manipu-lated in order to fulfill the specific needs of the individual. Specific testing is done to each hockey player to monitor progress in strength, power, body com-position, anaerobic conditioning and flexibility. These tests provide the coaches and medical staff with an accurate athletic profile on each athlete.

Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes Becky Taylor • CPIA CounselorThe University of Connecticut is committed to each hockey player, and all of its student-athletes, as a total person. Participation in athletics is important, but it represents only one aspect of the student-athlete’s college experience. At the University of Connecticut, academic achievement is the primary concern. Impressively, for the past five years the Connecticut student-athlete retention rate has been 99.0 percent. The University's commitment to the student-athlete is a dual one. Participation in athletics is not viewed as an obstacle to the attainment of one's educational goals, rather it is seen as a complementary activity. Each supports the other. Athletic excellence is stressed, but academic achievement is never compromised - indeed, it is given the utmost priority. The University realizes that the hockey team and all student-athletes, due to their academic involvement, are required to commit a large percentage of their personal time to University sponsored athletic activities. For this reason, the University recognizes the need

for a support program for its intercollegiate athletes. The Counseling Program for Intercollegiate Athletes (CPIA) constantly assists all student-athletes in achieving their academic goals. The CPIA staff serves as a liaison to the academic faculty, the Division of Athletics, and the student-athlete. In serving as a liaison between the Connecticut student-athletes and University faculty and staff, the CPIA counselors also provide assistance in securing appropriate support services available with the University. These include orientation for student-athletes, supervised study halls, individual tutors and tutorial centers (an English/Writing Center, Math Center and Reading Center), and learning skills seminars. For the past three years, the writing lab and computers have been networked to a national database which allow all student-athletes to do research at their actual computer stations.

The Women’s Hockey East Association will celebrate its 11th season of play after officially commencing league action in the fall of 2002. In 10 years, the conference has emerged as one of the top women’s ice hockey conferences in the nation, having sent six teams to the Frozen Four and 13 teams to the NCAA Tournament, which includes the most successful season in 2010-2011, sending Boston University and Boston College to the Frozen Four with the Terriers making the league’s second appearance in the NCAA National Championship Game. In 2012, the Boston University Terriers captured their second WHEA Tournament Title against Providence in double overtime in March at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center in Hyannis. The Northeastern Huskies earned their first regular-season championship in school history last February. Northeastern senior goaltender Florence Schelling was named the Hockey East Player of the Year for the second time in her career, while teammate Kendall Coyne earned Rookie of the Year honors. Maine head coach Maria Lewis and Northeastern head coach Dave Flint were named Co-Coach of the Year, the first time in league his-tory that two coaches were bestowed the honor. Hockey East announced 89 student-athletes were named to the league’s 2011-12 All-Academic Team in the conferences 10th season of play in June. Vermont sophomore defenseman Megan Dalbec and Maine freshman forward Katelyn Massey shared the distinction as Hockey East Top-Scholar Athlete, as the duo earned perfect 4.0 GPA’s for the season. Dalbec received the award for the sec-ond consecutive season with the Catamounts. The league also honored seven student-athletes that received “Distinguished Scholar” status. Those earning “Distinguished Scholar” status achieved a 3.0 or better in each semester over four varsity seasons. Boston College led the way with three athletes earning the honor in goaltender Kiera Kingston, defenseman Kristin Regan and forward Megan Shea, while Maine had two honorees in defenseman Melissa Gagnon and Ashley Norum. Boston University defenseman Kasey Boucher and Connecticut goaltender Alexandra Garcia were also bestowed the honor. In February 2007, the league debuted its inau-gural “Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer”. The one-day event was hosted by Hockey East schools as a way to establish a greater fan base, to raise needed funds, and to work with the specific chari-ties to raise awareness for both the league and the specific cause. In the initial year, close to $20,000 was donated back to local breast cancer charities (Friends of Mel’s Foundation and the American Cancer Society), vastly exceeding expectations. Last year a league single-season record of $45,215 was raised to bring the six-year total to nearly $200,000. “Skating Strides” has won two national awards at NACMA in the “Single Day Attendance Promotion” category in 2007 and 2009. The sixth

annual “Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer” will have an event on every WHEA campus this season, as well as participation by all of the Hockey East men’s teams over the course of a two weekends.History As women’s ice hockey steadily expanded from its original status as an emerging sport to its cur-rent status as an established NCAA championship sport, it became apparent that Hockey East should seriously consider sponsoring a separate league to accommodate its five member schools that initially had varsity programs for women: Boston College, Maine, New Hampshire, Northeastern and Providence. The uncertainty remained until a split in the Eastern College Athletic Conference grouped the five aforementioned programs into a separate league, the ECAC Women’s Eastern League, along with three other unaffiliated pro-grams. Seeking league solidarity, administrators from the five Hockey East institutions acted. In September of 2001, the long-incubated idea became a reality when the athletic directors voted to found the new women’s league under the exist-ing Hockey East banner, with play scheduled to begin no later than the 2004-05 season. The five schools with varsity programs entered as char-ter members with the stipulation that any other Hockey East school that added a varsity women’s program in the future would be freely admitted to the league. Expediting the process in the interests of the participating teams, the league and the sport itself, Commissioner Joe Bertagna worked with a selected task force to successfully prepare the Hockey East women’s league for launch in the 2002-03 season, two years ahead of schedule. An important part of that process was the acceptance of an invitation extended to the University of Connecticut to join the newly formed league as its sixth active member. The triumphant effort immediately afforded the participating administrators a stronger voice in the advancement of their women’s ice hockey programs and alleviated the ECAC of continuing the maintenance of the Women’s Eastern League. Players, fans, coaches and administrators alike were all anticipating the intensified competition created by the new circle of teams that were already familiar rivals. In 2005, the Women’s Hockey East Association welcomed the addition of two more teams to its growing family, Boston University and the University of Vermont. For BU, it marked the inaugural season for women’s hockey as a varsity sport. The league athletic directors voted in June of 2012 to expand the playoff format and now all eight teams will qualify for the playoffs beginning in 2012-13 season, as opposed to six and four in previous seasons. Although the Women’s Hockey East Association is still in its infancy, its member programs have

storied histories that include several champion-ships and individual awards at the highest levels of play. The first 13 ECAC championships were shared among New Hampshire, Northeastern and Providence, all charter members of Hockey East. Northeastern forward Brooke Whitney was named the recipient of the 2002 Patty Kazmaier Award as the nation’s top female collegiate player, an honor first won by New Hampshire’s Brandy Fisher in 1998. Had the award been in existence beforehand, it surely would have been won at some point by Cammi Granato, a three-time ECAC Player of the Year who led Providence to back-to-back championships in 1992 and 1993. Five years later, in 1998, alongside nine other alums of what are now Hockey East programs, Granato captained Team USA to the Olympic gold medal during the first Olympic tournament that featured women’s ice hockey as a medal sport. Granato was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in October of 2010 for her contributions to the sport. Beginning in 2009, the WHEA athletic directors voted to honor the league Player of the Year with the Cammi Granato Award. Perhaps the proudest legacy that the Women’s Hockey East Association has established is the Hockey Humanitarian Award. The most presti-gious off-ice honor, and arguably the highest over-all honor in the sport, the Hockey Humanitarian Award recognizes college hockey’s finest citizen each year and encompasses both male and female athletes in all divisions. Its winners have dem-onstrated outstanding contributions to society through leadership in charity work and volunteer-ism. Northeastern senior forward Missy Elumba was the 2009 recipient, as the fifth Hockey East student-athlete to receive the prestigious honor. Elumba was the 14th all-time recipient and joined former Husky goaltender Chanda Gunn, who received the award in 2004, as the second ath-lete in Northeastern women’s hockey history. BC’s Sarah Carlson received it in 2005, making Women’s Hockey East the first league to boast back-to-back winners.
