History

The Vermont Catamounts women's ice hockey program was launched in 1995-1996, under head coach Bruce Garrapy.

During the 2003-04 season, Kami Cote of Vermont set an NCAA record for most saves in one season with 1332.[2]

During the 2010-11 season, Roxanne Douville earned consecutive shutouts against No. 9 Providence (Jan. 30) and Maine (Feb. 5) establishing a new program record shutout streak of 164 minutes and 13 seconds. In addition, she became only the second Vermont player to be named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team.

The 2013- 2014 season saw Vermont's best finish, ending the season 18-4-4, and earning fourth place in Hockey East. They won their quarterfinal match-up against Maine with three overtime wins. They advanced to meet Boston College in the semi-finals, losing by a score of 1-3. Catamount head coach Jim Plumer won the Hockey East co-Coach of the Year award and the New England Division I Women's Coach of the Year award.[3]

In 2019-2020, sophomore defenceman Maude Poulin-Labelle set the team's record for points by a defenseman in a single season, with 12 goals and 17 assists, for 29 points. Her goals total tied for first among Catamount defensemen. She was Hockey East player of the Week on January 6, 2020. She was nominated for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, and earned a spot on the Hockey East All Star Third Team.[4] The Catamounts started the season on a four game unbeaten streak, and lost just 2 games in their first 12 matches. They made the Hockey East tournament for the eighth consecutive year, but fell to the eventual tournament winners, the Northeastern Huskies, in the quarterfinals.

On November 11, 2020, Hockey East announced the 2020-2021schedule for men's and women's ice hockey. League play had been postponed due to the ongoing Covid19 pandemic in the United States, which caused the cancellation of the 2020 NCAA women's ice hockey tournament. Beginning on November 20, women's hockey resumes in a round robin format with each team playing 18 games, to determine the regular season champion. Flex weekends are planned to allow for canceled matches to be played as needed.[5]
