Pitt Women's Club Ice Hockey

Who We Are

The Women's Club Ice Hockey team at the University of Pittsburgh is full of passionate, hardworking student athletes who are very excited to participate at a high level of hockey this year. After winning the program's first CHE playoffs in our 2021 season, we are aiming to reach that level of success once again this 2024 season and go even further at Nationals this year. We will once again be playing in the College Hockey East League and the American Collegiate Hockey Association's Women's Division II.

We are extremely grateful for our exceptional and passionate volunteer coaches - John Gorring, Doug Rakoczy, and Emily Gallagher whose enthusiasm and expertise help push us and our team to new heights. We are excited to show the City of Champions what we are made of!

Our Project

We work hard, physically and mentally, whenever we step on the ice, but getting this team off the ground financially is a mountainous obstacle in and of itself. We are asking for your support to help us raise funds for necessary supplies, uniforms, league and insurance dues, home ice for games and practice times, and referee and EMT costs.

Game-Winning Goal

Jocelyn Lamoureux-Davidson scored the spectacular game-winning goal in the 2018 Winter Olympics. Jocelyn would later tell the media that deke was practiced over and over again and even had a name - she and her sister called it the "Oops, I Did It Again" after the Britney Spears song. This golden goal will cover 1/2 of a player's ACHA dues for the year!
