In a game versus Newfoundland at the Canada Winter Games (March 5, 2007), Wakefield was on a line with Mallory Deluce and Rebecca Johnston.

Returning to the CWHL after graduating from Boston University, she would be the 12th overall selection by the Toronto Furies in the 2012 CWHL Draft. Wakefield made her CWHL debut on October 20, 2012, a 4–3 win at Brampton.[3] The following day, she scored the first two goals of her CWHL career. Assisted by Chaterine White, said goal was scored against Florence Schelling, who was in her CWHL debut.[4] In the third period, she would score her second goal of the game, assisted by Jenny Brine and Shannon Moulson. In addition, Wakefield was recognized as the Second Star of the Game. Her performance against Brampton marked the start of a five-game scoring streak, which culminated on November 18, 2012, versus Team Alberta.

In the aftermath of a 4–3 home loss against the Boston Blades on October 27, 2012, Wakefield was named Third Star of the Game, having scored a pair of goals in the third period.[5]

The first game-winning goal of her CWHL career was scored on November 24, 2012, a road contest against the Montreal Stars. Said goal was scored against Charline Labonté.[6] On January 12, 2013, Wakefield recorded her first career hat trick in CWHL play, including the game-winning goal, recording the feat against Brampton Thunder goaltender Liz Knox.[7]
