Emerance Maschmeyer grew up in Bruderheim, Alberta — a small town northeast of Edmonton — and by the time she arrived at Harvard University in 2012, she was already a gold medalist, having posted a shutout in the gold medal game at the 2012 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship.
Her four years in Cambridge produced a string of individual milestones. As a freshman in 2012–13, she went 12-6-2 with a 1.44 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage, becoming the first goaltender to win Ivy League Rookie of the Year in more than 15 years. Her sophomore season (2013–14) brought a 16-6-4 record, a 1.75 GAA, a .943 save percentage, Second Team All-American honors, a spot among the top-10 Patty Kazmaier Award finalists, and the Co-Ivy League Player of the Year award. In her junior year she went 18-5-3 with a 1.48 GAA and a .943 save percentage, earning a Patty Kazmaier nomination, an All-Ivy League First Team selection, and a place on the ECAC All-Academic Team. By her senior season in 2015–16, she had become Harvard's all-time career saves leader, finishing with 2,538 saves.
After leaving Harvard, Maschmeyer spent three seasons in the Canadian Women's Hockey League, appearing in 8 games with the Calgary Inferno and 43 games with the Montréal Canadiennes between 2016 and 2019. She then played with the PWHPA from 2019 to 2023 before the formation of the PWHL.
On the international stage, Maschmeyer has represented Canada at the IIHF Women's World Championship in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, collecting three gold medals, three silver medals, and one bronze medal across those seven tournaments. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, she appeared in two games and won a gold medal with Team Canada.
Maschmeyer currently wears number 38 for the Vancouver Goldeneyes. Kevin Woodley of InGoal Magazine has spoken with her twice on InGoal Radio — first in Episode 246 InGoal Radio Episode 246 with Emerance Maschmeyer in March 2024 and again in Episode 345 Episode 345: Canadian Olympian and Vancouver Goldeneyes goalie Emerance Maschmeyer in March 2026.
