On January 23, 2012, it was announced that Stacey committed to the Dartmouth Big Green.[6] In her first season, she was named to the ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team, and was one of three finalists for Rookie of the Year. In her senior year, she captained the Big Green, and earned All-Ivy first team honors.

She was selected third overall by the Brampton Thunder in the 2016 CWHL Draft. Making her CWHL debut in a road contest against the Calgary Inferno on October 8, 2016, she would log her first goal with the Thunder on October 9. An October 16 tilt with Les Canadiennes de Montreal resulted in the first multi-point performance of her CWHL career, as she recorded a pair of assists.

In her first season in the league, Stacey was named among the participants in the 3rd CWHL All-Star Game. Competing with Team White, she was joined by fellow Thunder teammates Laura Fortino, Jess Jones and Rebecca Vint. Stacey and Vint logged an assist on the ninth goal of the game, scored by Marie-Philip Poulin.[7]

Appearing in the 2018 Clarkson Cup finals against the Kunlun Red Star, Laura Stacey would score with 2:11 left in the 4-on-4 overtime, as Markham prevailed by a 2–1 tally for its first-ever Cup win.[8]
