The Concordia Stingers women's ice hockey program represents Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec in the sport of ice hockey in the RSEQ conference of U Sports. The Stingers have won two national championships, in 1998 and 1999, and 18 conference championships.^[2]

History[]

The Concordia Stingers women's ice hockey team earned varsity status in 1975, ensuring that they received financial support from the university.^[3]

After playing for the Providence Friars women's ice hockey program and without any NCAA eligibility remaining, Cammi Granato moved to Montreal to earn her master's degree in sports administration at Concordia University. In 123 games, Granato scored 178 goals and 148 assists for 326 points, and was instrumental in Concordia capturing three consecutive provincial championships.^[4]

In 1997-98, the CIS recognized women's hockey. The Stingers won their first National Championship that year, which was held at Concordia. In the 2000 semi-finals, the Stingers were bested by the Alberta Pandas by a 4-3 tally. That year, the Stingers took third place. In the 2000-01 season, Stingers player Lisa-Marie Breton led the Quebec Student Sports Federation with eight goals and six assists in just six games.^[5]

The team is coached by four-time Olympic medallist Julie Chu, after former coach Les Lawton accumulated more than 500 victories as Stingers head coach before stepping down due to health issues.^[6]

Erica Porter, who played five years with the Stingers (2011–16), earning academic all-Canadian honors in each year, was among 18 former student-athletes selected for the 2021 U SPORTS Female Apprentice Coach Program.^[7] In celebration of International Women's Day, involving apprentice coaches (former student-athletes) with a mentor head coach, the purpose of the program is geared towards increasing the number of women in coaching positions across Canadian universities. Having Porter was also athletics valedictorian at the Concordia awards banquet in 2016. Of note, she shall be mentored by Concordia coaches Caroline Ouellette and Julie Chu. ^[8]
