Career

Stack played for the Detroit Honeybaked junior team in the Midwest Elite Hockey League until 2006 during her high school years . For the 2006/07 school year, the striker finally moved to Boston College , whose ice hockey team she was part of for the next five years while studying. She played with the team in Hockey East , a division in the game operations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association . During this time, Stack made her debut for the United States women's national ice hockey team , for which she first participated in the 2008 World Cup. There she won the gold medal - just like at the 2009 World Cup .

After three years of college - overshadowed by a now publicly relationship with her former coach, who subsequently resigned from his post - sat Stack initially her studies for a year and moved to the 2009/10 season in the US Hockey Association USA Hockey , with which she specifically prepared for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver . The center forward closed the Olympic ice hockey tournament by winning the silver medal. She then returned to Boston College for her senior year and won the Hockey East title with the team. In addition, she became world champion for the third time at the 2011 World Cup.

Despite switching to the professional field for the 2011/12 season , Stack remained loyal to the city of Boston and from then on played in the Canadian Women's Hockey League for the Boston Blades . After a full season for the blades and another silver medal in the 2012 World Cup , where she was also the best striker of the tournament and was part of the All-Star team, she was only sporadically active for the team. Initially due to an injury and the renewed preparation in the US federation for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , from which she brought another silver medal, then due to a brief retirement from active sport. Nevertheless, she won the Clarkson Cup with the Blades in spring 2013 .

Only in the 2015/16 season did the attacker fully return to the game after receiving a lucrative offer from the Connecticut Whale from the newly founded National Women's Hockey League . For the Stamford- based team, Stack ran for the next two years with mixed success. With the national team, however, she won her fourth and fifth world title in 2016 and 2017 . In May 2017, Stack then moved back to the CWHL, where she went on the ice for Kunlun Red Star .
