History

edit

At the midway point of the 2008-09 CIS season, Mariève Provost led the CIS in scoring with 15 goals and 27 assists in 11 conference games.[1] She represented Canada in their entry at the 2009 World Universidade, which was the first appearance for the Canadian women in ice hockey at the Universidade. Provost finished the seven game tournament with seven points (four goals, three assists).

On March 22, 2009, les Aigles Bleues participated in the bronze medal game of the 2009 CIS National Championships. Provost scored the game-winner in a shootout with a 3–2 victory over the Manitoba Bisons. Moncton was the fourth-seeded team in the tournament and captured the Atlantic conference's first-ever medal at the CIS women's hockey championship.[2]

In the first 12 conference games of the 2010-11 CIS season, Provost led the CIS in scoring with 30 points (14-16-30). At the midway point of that season, she ranked third in CIS all-time scoring with 205 points (105-100-205).[3]
