Kendra Woodland grew up in Kamloops, British Columbia, and spent five seasons between 2018 and 2024 as the goaltender for the University of New Brunswick Reds. Over that span she compiled a record of 53-35-0 with a 1.68 goals-against average and a .941 save percentage, and she helped lead UNB to three Atlantic University Sport (AUS) championships.
The individual honors accumulated steadily across her time in Fredericton. She earned AUS Rookie of the Year recognition and a spot on both the AUS and national All-Rookie Teams in 2018-19, then added AUS First All-Star Team selections in 2018-19, 2021-22, and 2022-23, along with an AUS Second All-Star Team nod in 2019-20. Her final season at UNB brought the most prominent recognition of her university career: the AUS Most Valuable Player award and the Broderick Trophy as U Sports Female Athlete of the Year for 2023-24. She had also been runner-up for the U Sports Female Athlete of the Year award in 2023.
On the international stage, Woodland won a bronze medal with Team Canada at the IIHF Women's U18 Championship in 2018. Five years later, at the 2023 World University Games (Universiade), she posted a 0.25 goals-against average and a .984 save percentage across four games, recording three shutouts as Canada claimed gold.
Away from the rink, Woodland has served as a Hockey Gives Blood player ambassador since 2021, promoting blood and stem cell donation within the hockey community. During her years at UNB she helped organize blood drives twice a year and coordinated Hockey Gives Blood and Canadian Blood Services themed games to raise awareness. She has donated blood ten times herself. In 2022 she was runner-up for the Dayna Brons Award through Hockey Gives Blood — a distinction that made her the only female athlete ever included in that award category before it transitioned into a CHL-specific honor.
Woodland is currently a goaltender for the Ottawa Charge of the Professional Women's Hockey League, wearing number 70.
