Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey began its 2025-26 campaign dominantly, with the Bobcats going 9-1, as of publication.
From the strong start to the season, two Bobcats have found their way onto the NCAA women’s ice hockey leader board: junior forward Kahlen Lamarche and sophomore goaltender Felicia Frank.
Lamarche has tallied 12 goals for Quinnipiac and seven assists. The Sudbury, Ontario native also scored the most goals in a weekend series for both Quinnipiac men’s and women’s ice hockey in seven years in its weekend matchup against Northeastern, with seven goals.
As of Oct. 20, Lamarche is tied for first in goals and points, with 19 points thus far. She is also ranked first in game-winning goals, with four on the season.
“It’s so amazing, like she works so hard,” head coach Cass Turner said, after Quinnipiac’s 3-1 victory over Yale on Oct. 24. “(She) has put so much into the game, so much into her game, and willing to work on anything. You know, you see her this year, she’s prepared to be stronger defensively, she’s on our (penalty kill), she’s playing in all big moments and we are excited for where she is and where she’s going.”
Following this weekends play against Yale and Brown, Lamarche has fallen to third in points per game and second in goals.
Frank has played 10 games for the Bobcats, starting in nine, only letting 13 goals past her. The Falköping, Sweden native is tied for first in the nation in wins, as of the rankings done on Oct. 20.
Frank is tied for No. 4 in shutouts with two on the season and fourth in goals against average with a 1.34, among goalies who have played six or more games.
“She’s just got an edge,” Turner said. “She’s there when we need her to be there. She makes those saves in practice too, she’s very consistent day-to-day with how she prepares, and I think that’s why she’s playing so consistently.”
After this weekends matchups, Frank has fallen to seventh in goals against average, and fifth in goalie winning percentage.
As the Bobcats enter ECAC play, they hope to keep their dominant performance alive, contributing from both their skaters and netminders.
