Stanstead College has a history of their female students playing hockey dating back to the early 1900s. In the early 2000s, there was a girls’ hockey program, but it was made up of female students who were already at the school that wanted to play rather than a program that recruited players to prepare them to be student athletes.
The high school, founded in 1872, is in the town of Stanstead, Quebec, 45 minutes south of Sherbrooke, and about two hours from Montreal in the province’s Eastern Townships. The town literally sits atop the Canada/USA border, making it attractive to American and Canadian universities alike.
