Hall of Fame
Cathy Chartrand (B.Ed '12) of Lac Nominingue, Que., is a physical education graduate and former national team player (2002 to 2008) who was a five-time conference all-star defenceman and four-time All-Canadian at McGill from 2007 to 2012. A two-time recipient of the Gladys Bean Trophy as McGill female athlete of the year (in each of her last two seasons), she also received the Muriel Roscoe Trophy, presented to a graduating McGill female for proficiency and leadership in athletics. The imposing 5-foot-10 rearguard became the top-scoring defender in McGill hockey history. She suited up for 198 career games overall with the Martlets, setting school records by a blueliner for most goals (78), assists (162) and points (240), while collecting 148 penalty minutes. In regular season play, she racked up a 34-80-114 record with 44 PIMs in 90 contests. Her best season was in 2009-10 when she posted a stellar 21-34-55 mark with 44 PIMs in 39 games.
A two-time Team MVP, Chartrand was voted conference player of the year in 2009-10 and twice led all CIS defenders in scoring. She served her final two years as team captain after a pair of seasons as an alternate. Chartrand led her teammates to five consecutive appearances in the CIS championship tournament, where the Martlets collected three gold medals, one silver and a bronze. She was voted four times to the CIS All-Tournament Team and named tourney MVP in 2008. During her university career, she played a key role in guiding McGill to a national record 107 consecutive victories in regular season play. She was also one of four Martlets who led Canada to a gold medal in hockey at the 2009 FISU World University Games in Harbin, China, where she tallied eight points, including two goals, in seven games.
