Tessa Bonhomme (born July 23, 1985 in Sudbury , Ontario ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who last played until 2015 for the Toronto Furies in the Canadian Women's Hockey League .

Career

Tessa Bonhomme began her career as an ice hockey player in her hometown with the Sudbury Lady Wolves , for which she was active from 1998 to 2003 and in her last season also played as a team captain. She then attended Ohio State University for five years , where she played parallel to the ice hockey team and studied speech therapy . In her debut season with the Ohio State Buckeyes , the Canadian defender made her breakthrough in the National Collegiate Athletic Association , when she was on the ice in 34 games and scored 20 points. As a result, Bonhomme was the most successful points collector among the defenders of the Ohio State Buckeyes in the 2003/04 season and was honored for her excellent performance at the end of the season with several honors; In addition to being elected to the All- Rookie Team of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association , Ohio State University named her the best new player of the year .

In the following years, the national player was able to continuously underpin her leadership role as a central part of the team. In each of the following three seasons, in which Bonhomme played at least one game in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association for the Ohio State Buckeyes , the Canadian increased her points and came in a total of 132 NCAA games on 42 goals and 86 assists . Only for the 2005/06 season did she stop playing at the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and put the focus on her speech therapy studies in order to extend her funding period at the university from the usual four years. As a result, she was not allowed to play in university games, but there was still the opportunity to participate in team training.

For the 2006/07 season, the left-handed shooter finally returned to the Ohio State Buckeyes division and was more convincing than ever in the offensive area, by for the first time surpassing the point mark of an average of one counter per encounter. Your individual achievements have been recognized with several awards; Among other things, in addition to the nomination for the WCHA First All-Star Team, the Canadian was also one of ten finalists for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award , which is given annually to the best female college ice hockey player. Before the start of the 2007/08 season, she was selected in an internal team election for team captain of the Ohio State Buckeyes , after the left-shooter was already active as co-captain in the previous season. Bonhomme fitted in excellently in her new role, once again increased her offensive production significantly and, after completing her last season in college ice hockey, was repeatedly awarded numerous individual honors. In addition, she was nominated for the second time in her career as one of ten finalists for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, which she did not win again. To date, the Canadian has been the only player in the history of the Ohio State Buckeyes to have been considered a finalist for the best female college player several times in the course of her college career.
