Career

Pettet grew up playing on boys' teams in the Acadia Minor Hockey Association up until the Peewee AAA level, where she was coached by former NHLer Dennis Vial.[1] When she was 12, she moved to the United States to attend the Shattuck-Saint Mary's prep school, winning four championships during her time there.[2][3]

In 2017, she began attending the University of Wisconsin, playing for the university's women's ice hockey programme.[4] She scored 19 points in 38 games in her rookie NCAA season, scoring her first collegiate hat trick against Mercyhurst in late September 2017.[5] Her point production dropped during the 2018–19 season, down to six points, but the Badgers won the national championship. She then posted career-high marks during the 2019–20 season, scoring 28 points in 36 games, including the opening goal of the Badgers' season.[6] She was named a co-captain of the team for the 2020–21 season, her last year of collegiate eligibility.[7]

International career

Pettet represented Canada at the 2017 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship in Czechia, the only player from the Maritimes selected to the Canadian roster that year.[8] She scored five points in five games at the Championships, second on her team in scoring as the country won silver.[9]
