Clarkson adds a new player with family ties

1/5/2021 8:15:00 PM

Clarkson University's Women's Hockey Coach Matt Desrosiers is happy to announce the addition of Kirstyn McGuigge to the roster. She will be eligible for action starting next week when the Golden Knights take on Long Island University. If the name sounds familiar that is because both of Kirstyn's older sisters play college hockey in the ECAC. Her oldest sister is the goaltender for the Princeton Tigers and next oldest sister, and now teammate, Brooke is the leading scorer for the Golden Knights so far this season.

Kirstyn was slated to enroll in the fall of 2021, but since she had already graduated from Bowmanville High School in Ontario, she was eligible to start this semester.

Coach Matt Desrosiers is excited to add Kirstyn to the team, "We are excited to add Kirstyn to Clarkson for the second half of the season as we expect her to make an impact on our program immediately. She is a good skating forward that sees the ice very well and can make her teammates around her better through her work ethic. The experience she has gained from being Captain of her team in Whitby (PWHL) will help make the transition to college hockey seamless."

Kirstyn will wear # 17 and she is a left shot forward.
