More about our Guest:


Since joining as head coach of the UNB REDS women’s hockey team in 2017, Sarah’s coaching has propelled the REDS to back-to-back AUS regular season titles and consecutive conference championships. In 2023, she assisted Canada’s women’s hockey team to a gold medal at the FISU World Winter University Games.


Sarah’s coaching journey began in western Canada, where she played and coached at the University of Alberta. She’s achieved remarkable success with the REDS, leading them to their first league championship in 2021-22.


Beyond the rink, Sarah is a dedicated volunteer, contributing to Hockey Alberta and various initiatives in Fredericton, NB. She’s also a facilitator for UNB’s Phillips Sports Leadership Academy.
