Norwich Star Conway Drafted By NWHL

Norwich University women’s hockey star and Division III Player of the Year Amanda Conway was drafted on Wednesday night in the fourth round of the National Women’s Hockey League Draft. She was selected by the Connecticut Whale.

Conway is one of the most accomplished women’s hockey players in history:

From the release above:

“She won the 2020 American Hockey Coaches Association’s (AHCA) Laura Hurd Award as the nation’s best Division III women’s ice hockey player. She also was named the USCHO.com National Player of the Year as well recently.

She finished her remarkable four-year career in the Maroon & Gold ranking third all-time in NCAA Division III history with 116 goals and four all-time in points with 188.

Conway was the first three-time All-American in program history, earning First Team honors in 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Conway was the first player in New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) history to earn the Player of the Year award three times and also won the league’s Rookie of the Year award in 2017.”

She helped the Cadets win the 2018 National Championship and the team was 23-4-2 this season. The team played one NCAA Tournament game before the rest of the postseason was canceled as a result of the Coronavirus.

Conway will join our own Brady Farkas for an exclusive digital interview that will appear on all of our platforms.
