Kendra Woodland

Kendra Woodland grew up in Kamloops, British Columbia, and spent five full seasons between 2018 and 2024 at the University of New Brunswick, where she built one of the more complete records in Canadian university hockey. By the time she left the Reds, she had compiled a 53-35-0 record with a 1.68 goals-against average, a .941 save percentage, and helped lead the program to three Atlantic University Sport (AUS) championships.

The individual recognition that followed her through Fredericton tracked closely with those team results. She earned AUS First All-Star Team honours three times — in 2018-19, 2021-22, and 2022-23 — and was named to the AUS Second All-Star Team in 2019-20. In her first season with the Reds, she also took home AUS Rookie of the Year, an All-Rookie Team selection, and a spot on the national All-Rookie Team. Her final season at UNB brought the program's highest individual recognition: AUS Most Valuable Player 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.

Her international record with Canada includes a bronze medal at the 2018 IIHF Women's U18 World Championship. In 2023, she represented Canada at the Universiade, where she posted a 0.25 goals-against average and a .984 save percentage with three shutouts in four games, winning gold.

Away from the ice, Woodland has served as a Hockey Gives Blood player ambassador since 2021, working to raise awareness around blood and stem cell donation. During her time at UNB, she helped organize blood drives twice a year and coordinated Hockey Gives Blood and Canadian Blood Services themed games. She has donated blood ten times herself. In 2022, she was runner-up for the Dayna Brons Award through Hockey Gives Blood — a recognition that, at the time, made her the only female ever included in that award category before it transitioned into a CHL-specific award.

Woodland now plays for the Ottawa Charge of the PWHL, wearing number 70. She appeared on InGoal Radio in episode 334 InGoal Radio Episode 334 Kendra Woodland of the PWHL Ottawa Charge. InGoal Magazine has covered Kendra Woodland in one podcast appearance.
