Playing career
USA Hockey

CWHL
Kauth, along with such as Allyson Fox, Kim McCullough, along with national team members Sami Jo Small and Jennifer Botterill spearheaded an initiative to form the Canadian Women's Hockey League. The players worked with a group of volunteer business people to form the CWHL by following the example of the National Lacrosse League. The league would be responsible for all travel, ice rental and uniform costs, plus some equipment.[1]
Personal
Kauth graduated from Brown University in pre-med in 2001. Kauth is also a mother to two daughters and son with her partner, four-time Canadian Olympian, Jayna Hefford.[2] Both have also served on the coaching staff for the Toronto Lady Blues women's ice hockey program under head coach Vicky Sunohara.
Kauth's father, Don, was killed on September 11, 2001 while working in the World Trade Center for Keefe, Bruyette & Woods.[3] He was employed as a bank analyst on the 85th floor of the South Tower, the second tower struck by a plane on that tragic day.
