The Kimball Union Academy Girls’ Hockey Team competes in the highly competitive Lakes Region Athletic Conference and has built a strong tradition within New England prep school hockey. The program has captured a New England Championship and earned multiple appearances in the New England Prep Tournament, along with several Lakes Region Championships.
While competing for championships and tournament appearances is a valued part of the program, the primary focus is on the development of each student-athlete. The goal is to prepare players for success at the collegiate level while fostering growth both on and off the ice.
KUA alumni have gone on to compete at a wide range of NCAA Division I and III institutions, including University of Minnesota, Northeastern University, Dartmouth College, University of Vermont, Elmira College, Norwich University, Endicott College, Bowdoin College, Colby College, and Amherst College.
