SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Allie Munroe will continue her professional hockey career with the Connecticut Whale for the 2021 National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) season. The 2019 Syracuse graduate, who co-captained the Orange to its first College Hockey America (CHA) Championship in 2019 and first NCAA Tournament appearance, was named CHA Best-Defenseman in 2017 and 2019. The 2019 All-CHA First team selection led the team in assists (22) and points (27) during her senior season (2018-19) and in all-time blocks with 73.
Munroe joins four other former Syracuse standouts, including Lindsay Eastwood '20 (Toronto Six), Allie Olnowich '20 (Metropolitan Riveters), Brooke Avery '19 (Metropolitan Riveters), and Megan Quinn '18 (Toronto Six), in the NWHL.
Following graduation Munroe began her professional career playing for Djurgårdens IF in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL), which is the top-flight of Swedish's women's hockey and is based in Stockholm, Sweden. She was selected for the 2021 Canadian National Team Camp and participated in the Canadian National Women's Development Team selection camps in August of 2016 and the program's strength and conditioning camp in May of that same year.
The NWHL draft is June 29, 2021 and the season will begin shortly after.
