On a squad predominantly composed of underclassmen, the women's ice hockey team is led by a small, diverse group of four seniors - each of whom provides a different style of leadership.

"I think each one brings something special, and I think that's what is great about this senior class," said head coach Doug Derraugh '91. "They each compliment one another very well. You look at [co-captain] Brittany Forgues and she's a very vocal leader, very passionate and very energetic. [Co-captain] Caeleigh Beerworth is a very driven, focused individual, who works very hard. She's a little bit quieter [than Forgues], but her actions speak louder than her words. Brianne Schmidt is just a player with a very big heart that cares very much about her teammates. Sarah Johnston likes to be the prankster. She's always smiling, always laughing and keeps everything very loose with the players. She brings a real positive energy to the team."

Forgues echoed her coach's sentiments in crediting the team's success to its chemistry on the ice.
