Queen's Gaels women's ice hockey is the representative women's ice hockey program of Queen's University at Kingston in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The team plays in the women's ice hockey section of Ontario University Athletics (OUA), one of the four regional governing bodies that comprise U Sports.

The first records of organized women's ice hockey in Canada date back to university level games played in the 1890s. Queen's University at Kingston and the University of Toronto were two of the first Canadian universities to field women's ice hockey teams.

History

Elizabeth Graham would play hockey for Queen's University and is credited as the first goaltender ever to wear a mask for protection. She used the mask in 1927, and her use of the mask was noted in the Montreal Daily Star. The mask she donned was actually a fencing mask and there was speculation that she opted to use the mask as a means of protecting recently-performed dental work.[1]

During the 1960s, a group of dedicated students led by Cookie Cartwright revived the women's ice hockey program at Queen's University. Cartwright and the Golden Gaels would go on to capture the first women's university championship.[2] Known originally as the Golden Gals, the program captured the OWIAA title in the 1974–75 season.[3]

After 32 long years, the Queen's women's hockey team captured their first OUA Championship in 2010–11. The team won all five of their playoff games in overtime, knocking off nationally ranked opponents Windsor in the Quarter-final, Wilfrid Laurier in the Semifinal and Guelph in the Final. Game 1 of the OUA Championship series was historic in its own right for the Gaels as the team won the longest collegiate hockey game in history, a six-overtime marathon. The game finally game to an end after 107 minutes and 14 seconds of overtime when Morgan McHaffie banged home a rebound past Guelph goaltender Danielle Skoufranis. Queen's goaltender Melanie "Mel" Dodd-Moher made 66 saves for the win.[4]

The team moved on to their first CIS Championship following the OUA playoffs where the Gaels defeated the defending champion Alberta Pandas and the host Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks to win the bronze medal.[5]

Morgan McHaffie was recognized as the 2012 OUA women's hockey Player of the Year. She led the OUA league scoring race with 38 points (16 goals and 22 assists). She ranked fourth overall in CIS scoring. She was the first Gael to earn Player of the Year honors since the 2003–04 campaign. She was also recognized as an OUA First-Team All-Star.[6]

Freshman Taryn Pilon was named to the 2012 OUA All-Rookie team. She appeared in every Queen's contest, while recording 21 points and taking only one penalty. Defender Katie Duncan was making her first appearances on an all-star team as she was named to the 2012 OUA Second Team All-Stars. Duncan finished the 2011–12 campaign tied for fourth among OUA defenders with 15 points. In addition, Duncan led all blueliners with six goals on the season.
