Former Spartan Named to Women's National Senior Team

 

Rosalie, 18, will represent her country at the IIHF Women's Ice Hockey World Championships taking place in Herning and Esbjerg, Denmark, from November 6 to 16.

 

Rosalie was the youngest invitee among 48 players at Team Canada’s national women’s team training camp October 8-14 in Quebec City. Former Spartan Alexia Aubin (2023) was also invited to the camp.

 

“From the very first practice, [Rosalie] showed us her willingness to be engaged and to apply what was being taught, particularly during the more individual sessions,” Team Canada general manager Danièlle Sauvageau told The Hockey News. “And ultimately, she showed her ability to play alongside players who are well established within the Canadian program. So, for us, she's ready mentally and physically, and above all, she's clearly ready to keep learning and applying what she's taught.”

 

The selection was the latest step in the Sherbrooke, Que. native's hockey journey. Rosalie was assistant captain at the 2026 U18 World Championship and named Canadian Player of the Tournament. She also helped Canada earn gold at the 2025 U18 World’s. In 2024 and 2025, she was Team Quebec captain for the U18 Canadian National Championship. She was named MVP at the 2025 national tournament, where Quebec earned its first-ever gold. In her senior year as a Spartan, Rosalie won the Liz Turgeon Player of the Year award Junior Women's Hockey League.

 

Rosalie is currently playing at University of Wisconsin. On her return from camp this past week, Rosalie scored four goals for the Badgers against Minnesota State, the third rookie in school history to achieve such a feat.

 

Rosalie said she was incredibly proud and grateful for the opportunity to play for Canada’s senior women’s hockey team.

 

“Representing Canada is never something I take for granted,” she said. “It has always been a dream of mine to represent Canada at the senior level, and I cannot wait to compete for gold with my teammates.”

 

She also expressed gratitude for her four years as a Stanstead Spartan.

“Stanstead has played a huge role in helping me get here. It gave me the opportunity to grow not only as a hockey player, but also as a person. The coaches, teammates, and entire community have pushed me to become better every day and have supported me throughout my journey,” she said. “I’m especially grateful for the relationships I built at the school. To have the Stanstead community constantly support me even after I graduated is extremely special.

“I’ll always be proud to have been part of the Stanstead community, and I’m thankful for everything the school has done to help me reach my goals,” she added.

 

Team Canada’s roster is generally younger, with an average age of 25.8 compared to 29.2 at February’s Winter Olympics.
