    Meaghan Mikkelson Biography

    Meaghan Mikkelson joined Canada’s National Women’s Team in 2007 after playing for the national under-22 team from 2003 to 2006. Since then, she has won two Olympic gold medals at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014 to go with a silver medal at PyeongChang 2018 and played in seven IIHF Women’s World Championships, winning gold in 2012 along with six silver medals.

    At Sochi 2014, Mikkelson assisted on Canada’s opening goal in the gold medal game after breaking her hand just four days earlier. She had sat out of the semifinal, but medical staff decided to freeze part of her hand for the final. After Sochi 2014, Mikkelson took a season away from hockey to start a family with her husband Scott, a former professional goaltender. Their son Calder was born in September 2015 and was named following a national vote on Twitter. In her return to the world championships in 2016, she was one of Canada’s top-scoring defencemen with two goals.

    After winning silver at PyeongChang 2018, Mikkelson took another break from hockey to have her second child. In May 2021 she was named to the centralization roster in preparation for Beijing 2022, but shortly thereafter she suffered ligament damage in her knee while playing a Dream Gap Tour game with the PWHPA. Surgery in June kept her from competing at the 2021 World Championship where Canada won gold but she returned to play in December during the Rivalry Series against Team USA.

    At the 2011 World Championship, Mikkelson was named as the best defenceman and earned a spot on the Media All-Star Team. She also earned a Media All-Star team selection in 2013.

    Mikkelson came to the national team at the conclusion of her collegiate career with the University of Wisconsin Badgers, with whom she won back-to-back NCAA titles in 2005-06 and 2006-07. In her senior year she was an All-American and a top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award as the top female player in NCAA hockey after switching from forward to defence prior to the season. In 2011-12 Mikkelson began playing with Alberta (later renamed Calgary) of the CWHL. In 2015-16 she won the Clarkson Cup with the Inferno and in 2016-17 she was named CWHL Defenceman of the Year.
