Career

Meghan Agosta started ice hockey at the age of six after previously practicing figure skating . She played for the Chatham Cyclones and Windsor Wildcats as a teenager . In 2003 she won the gold medal in her age group at the Canada Games with Team Ontario . In addition, she won the gold medal with the Canadian national team at the IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship in 2004 .

In August 2004, she moved to Calgary to train with the women's national team. Her first appearance in Team Canada was at the 4 Nations Cup in 2004. In the run-up to the 2006 Olympic Games , she was one of the most successful players in the women's selection. During this period, she received offers from various US colleges to play for their ice hockey teams, which Agosta turned down with regard to optimal preparation for the Olympic Games.

At the Winter Games, Agosta won the gold medal with the national team and on her 19th birthday scored a hat-trick against the Russian women's team .

Following this success, she began studying criminal law at Mercyhurst College and has since played for the college's ice hockey team, the Mercyhurst Lakers , in the CHA . In the 2006/07 season, the Lakers won the championship of their college league, but reached only the playoff quarterfinals of the NCAA . After the season, Agosta was nominated for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award and made it to the final nomination round of this award as the first so-called freshman . In addition, she was voted into the First Team All-American and named CHA Player of the Year .

Two years later, Agosta led the Mercyhurst Lakers as captain to the finals of the national NCAA championship, in which the University of Wisconsin team lost 5-0. Meghan Agosta received several awards again and was among the last three candidates for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award.

At the 2010 Winter Olympics , Agosta scored nine goals and six assists, including two other hat tricks, and again won the gold medal with Team Canada. For her achievements, she was recognized as the most valuable player of the tournament and voted into the All-Star Team . Since 2013 Agosta has played exclusively for the national team at World Championships and Olympic Winter Games. In preparation for the Olympic ice hockey tournaments , the Canadian selection takes part in the Alberta Midget Hockey League . At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , Agosta collected four points, won the gold medal again and was elected to the Olympic All-Star Team for the second time.

After winning the Olympic Games in Sochi, she began training with the Vancouver Police Department .

At the World Championships in 2016 and 2017, she won the silver medal with the national team. In February 2018 she took part with the national team in her fourth Olympic Games, which were held in South Korea . At the end of the tournament, the Canadian women won the silver medal.
