Albertine Lapensée (10 August 1898 - Date of death unknown[1]), nicknamed Miracle Maid by English-speaking media and L'étoile des étoiles by French media[2], was a Canadian woman hockey player.
She played for two seasons as the captain of the Cornwall Victorias. As the first Canadian woman player to play alongside men, she was honored with a national medal.
After 1918, there is no record of Albertine Lapensée. It has been suggested that she succumbed to the 1918-19 Spanish flu pandemic. Others have suggested that she emigrated to the United States, and lived under a married name.
