The Alberta Pandas women's ice hockey team represents the University of Alberta in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport athletic association. Since joining the CIS in 1997, their only head coach has been Howie Draper. On January 25, 2011, it was announced that the 1999-2000 University of Alberta Pandas hockey team would be inducted into the Alberta Hockey Hall of Fame.[1]
Early years
In the era of the First World War, the University of Alberta formed men's ice hockey and women's ice hockey teams. The women's team played many community based teams. The University of Alberta played the Edmonton Monarchs in the Monarchs first ever game in 1918.[2] The city of Edmonton would organize women's ice hockey into three divisions in 1930: junior, intermediate and senior. The Edmonton Monarchs and the University of Alberta were the only teams that comprised the senior division.[3] In that same year, the University of Alberta would challenge the Edmonton Monarchs for the Alpine Cup. The Monarchs prevailed by a 1-0 score. By 1934, the University of Alberta was demoted to the intermediate division. In 1937, the University of Alberta competed for the Alpine Cup, contested at the Banff Winter Carnival. The club lost to the Calgary Avenue Grills team.[4]
CIS
On March 14, 2004, the Pandas gained their third consecutive CIS National Championship and the fourth in the last five years. The win came courtesy of a 2-0 tally over the Ottawa Gee Gees. For the season, the Pandas went 20-0-0 in Canada West play, 7-0 in the postseason, and a 35-0-0 overall mark.[5] CIS Player of the Year Danielle Bourgeois scored both goals in the game[6] as Alberta outshot Ottawa 45-14 overall. The game-winning goal was assisted by Canadian national team member Delaney Collins. With the triumph, the Pandas ran their undefeated streak against CIS opponents to 81 games. During the streak, their last loss to a CIS team was on Oct. 13, 2001.[7]
On November 7, 2009, the Pandas defeated the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds by a score of 3-2. With the victory, the Pandas became the first women's hockey team in Canada West to hit double digits in the win column this season. The 2008-09 Canada West Rookie of the Year, and first star of the game, Stephanie Ramsay, scored the first goal of the game. She received the feed from sophomore forward Sarah Hilworth (the game's third star) at the 7:16 mark of the first. Having five assists through her first six games, Tamara Pickford scored 30 seconds into the second period.[8]
On March 14, 2010, the Pandas won the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women's ice hockey championship. In the championship, they defeated the McGill Martlets by a score of 2-0[9]
