Congratulations to forward Rhyen McGill and Clarkson University for winning the NCAA Women’s Division I Frozen Four championship over the weekend.

Clarkson University forward Rhyen McGill.

McGill’s Golden Knights beat the University of Wisconsin Badgers 3-0 in the title game played Sunday in St. Charles, Missouri.

The sophomore from Whitby, Ontario, Canada, McGill didn’t register a point in Sunday’s championship game, but she was a key contributor to Clarkson reaching the Frozen Four final, scoring the game-winning goal in the Golden Knights’ 4-3 semifinal victory over the  University of Minnesota on Friday.

McGill was the Golden Knights sixth-leading scorer in the 2016-17 season with 9 goals and 22 assists in 41 games. In her 2015-16 freshman campaign, she was Clarkson’s seventh-leading scorer with 14 goals and 11 assists in 40 games and was tied for third among ECAC rookies with 25 points.

Clarkson, a school in Potsdam, New York, finished the 2016-17 regular season with a 32-4-5 overall record and a 19-1-2 record within the ECAC.

Sunday’s championship game was the last collegiate contest for Wisconsin forward Sarah Nurse, cousin of Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse and University of Connecticut basketball point guard Kia Nurse.

She was the second-leading Badgers scorer during the regular season with 25 goals and 28 assists in 39 games. She’ll leave Wisconsin as the school’s eighth all-time goal scorer among women with 74.

Professional hockey and a spot on Canada’s 2018 Winter Olympics women’s team could be in Nurse’s future. She was chosen by the Boston Pride with the eighth overall pick in the 2016 National Women’s Hockey League Draft. And she has been a mainstay for Hockey Canada in international tournaments.
