Bio updated:

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 became one of the most decorated goaltenders in Atlantic University Sport history. Wearing number 70, she now tends goal for the Ottawa Charge of the PWHL.

At UNB, Woodland helped the Reds win three AUS championships and finished her university career with a 53-35-0 record, a 1.68 goals-against average, a .941 save percentage, and a .602 winning percentage. She was named to the AUS First All-Star Team three times — in 2018-19, 2021-22, and 2022-23 — and to the Second All-Star Team in 2019-20. Her first season with the Reds also earned her the AUS Rookie of the Year award, a spot on the AUS All-Rookie Team, and a place on the national All-Rookie Team. Her final season at UNB brought the program's highest individual recognition: she was named AUS Most Valuable Player and won the Broderick Trophy as U Sports Female Athlete of the Year for 2023-24, having also been runner-up for the U Sports Female Athlete of the Year award the previous spring.

On the international stage, Woodland won a bronze medal with Team Canada at the 2018 IIHF Women's U18 Championship. In 2023, she represented Canada at the Universiade, posting a 0.25 goals-against average, a .984 save percentage, and three shutouts across four games, helping Canada to a gold medal.

Away from the ice, Woodland has served as a Hockey Gives Blood player ambassador since 2021, working to raise awareness of blood and stem cell donation within the hockey community. 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 personally donated ten times. In 2022, she was runner-up for the Dayna Brons Award through Hockey Gives Blood — recognized as the only female ever included in that award category before it transitioned into a CHL-specific award.

Woodland appeared on InGoal Radio in late 2025 to discuss her career InGoal Radio Episode 334 Kendra Woodland of the PWHL Ottawa Charge. InGoal Magazine has covered Kendra Woodland in one podcast appearance.
