Sault College Cougars centre played on American Collegiate Hockey Association championship team, named Sault College’s female athlete of the year
The 20-year-old is a centre and assistant captain with the Sault College Cougars women’s hockey team that won the 2023 American Collegiate Hockey Association Division 2 national championships with a 6-1 victory over Northeastern University in Boston in March.“It was definitely surreal at first,” Lecours said, speaking to SooToday and looking back on the Cougars victory at the ACHA championships.
“I’ve definitely always been more of a playmaker than a goal scorer. I scored more goals last year than I usually do. I had two really strong linemates that I was able to connect really well with so we definitely had a good productive year.”“I’ve played on the same line with her for two years now and we just know where each other are on the ice so well. That makes it a lot easier.
She started playing hockey in the Wildcats House League in the Sault Female Hockey Association when she was seven years old. While confident in her own exceptional hockey skills, Lecours credited the Sault College women’s hockey team coaching staff with helping her reach her potential. But as a Saultite, she said “at the local level, there are a lot of strong females that have come out of the Sault.”
