Playing career

Across four years of NCAA Division I women's ice hockey with the Cornell Big Red of ECAC Hockey, Boissonnault finished with 56 wins, the 2nd highest total in the university's history, and 15 shutouts, the third most in Cornell history.[1] In 2019, the team made the Frozen Four.[2]

After she graduated, she joined the PWHPA, as the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) had just folded and she felt more aligned with the goals of the PWHPA than the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL).[3]

International play

Boissonnault represented Canada at the 2015 IIHF Women’s World U18 Championship, winning a silver medal.[2][4] In 2017, she was named to the National Women’s Development Team roster.[5]

Personal life

Boissonnault has a pre-med degree from Cornell University.[6]
