Two UMD Women’s Hockey Players Drafted In The Canadian League

Former UMD Bulldog's Jessica Convery (goaltender) and Catherine Doast (defense) were drafted in the Canadian Women's Hockey League.

Jessica Convery originally from Commerce Township, MI played just one season for the Bulldogs. During her lone season ('17 - '18), she had a 2.23 goals-against average and .920 save percentage. She was drafted by Worcester with the 19th overall pick to open the fourth round.

Christine Doast grew up in Ile Bizard, Quebec and played her whole college career at UMD. In her senior year ('17 - '18) she racked up 13 points and a team-best 67 blocked shots  She was picked up by Les Canadiennes de Montreal in the fifth round with the 28th overall pick.

The CWHL (Canadian Women's Hockey League) was established in 2007 and in 2010 expanded to the United States with the introduction of the Boston Blades (now called the Worchester Blades). The draft happened this past Sunday (8/26/18). It's nice to see former Bulldogs making their dreams come true and playing the professional leagues. Get the full story from DNT here.
