Career
editFrom 2013 to 2017, she attended Boston University.[1][2] She was named a Hockey East First Team All-Star in her senior year, the first goalie from the university to be named to the first all star team in a decade.[3][4]
After graduating, she moved to Germany to sign with the Mad Dogs Mannheim, serving as the team's starting goaltender. She would only play a season with Mannheim before returning to North America and stepping away from competitive hockey for the 2018-19 season.
She returned to professional play in 2019 to sign with the PHF's Boston Pride, serving as the team's backup goaltender behind Lovisa Selander.[5] She went 6-0 in her rookie NWHL season, posting a .919 save percentage and 1.97 GAA, including her first professional shutout in a victory over the Connecticut Whale, as the Pride made it to the Isobel Cup finals before the year was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[6] She re-signed with the Pride for the 2020–21 NWHL season, with general manager Karilyn Pilch stating that she was "a fierce competitor and an excellent technical goalie."[7]
Personal life
editAt Boston University, Hanson was enrolled in the Questrom School of Business, earning a bachelor's degree in business administration and management.[8] Her father, Mark Hanson, played as a goaltender for Providence College in the 70s, and served as a goaltending coach for Harvard University until 2018, and her sister, Elizabeth Hanson, played as a goaltender for Elmira College from 2017 to 2020.[9]
