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]
