Emily Fluke is an American ice hockey forward, currently playing for the Toronto Six of the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL). A two-time NWHL All-Star, she formerly served as captain of the Connecticut Whale and is currently the 9th leading scorer in league history.
Career
Across 109 NCAA Division III games with Middlebury Panthers, Fluke scored 115 points. She led the entire New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) in scoring in her senior year, being named NESCAC Player of the Year and New England Hockey Writers Association's Division II-III Women's Player of the Year.
After graduating, she took a year off hockey.[1] She returned to the ice in 2017 to sign her first professional contract with the Connecticut Whale of the NWHL.[2] In her rookie NWHL season, she scored 11 points in 16 games, leading her team in goals, assists, and points, and was one of only two players on the team to finish with a positive plus/minus rating.[3] Her first career NWHL goal came in her hometown, a game-winning goal against the Boston Pride in her second game of the season. She would be named team captain for the Whale for the 2018–19 season. That season, her second in the league, she scored 11 points in 16 games, leading the team in assists, and was named to the NWHL All-Star Game for the second year in a row.[4]
After two years with the Whale, she signed with the Boston Pride ahead of the 2019–20 season.[5] In her first season with the Pride, she scored 27 points in 23 games, more than doubling her total career points, as the team finished in first place during the regular season.[6]
In December 2020, she announced that she had signed with the expansion Toronto Six for the 2020–21 NWHL season, only the fourth player with previous NWHL experience to sign with the Six.[7]
