Jaclyn Hawkins
Jaclyn Hawkins, CEO of Women’s Hockey Life. When Jaclyn does something she goes ALL IN and currently navigates building a women’s hockey empire while raising toddler twins in Ottawa, Ontario.
The idea for Women’s Hockey Life began over a slice of pizza in Switzerland—where Jaclyn decided how she’d stay involved in women’s hockey after retiring from a successful playing career with the University of Connecticut Huskies in the NCAA D1, Boston Blades of the CWHL, ZSC Lions in Switzerland, and even a stint with Hockey Canada, as well as an accomplished coaching career.
Fast forward 10+ years and Jaclyn has created and runs the leading women’s hockey website and community, along with multiple branches under WHL, to help give other women the opportunities she had (without the mistakes she made). She also runs an eight week online course to help high school girls navigate the college recruiting process.
Women’s Hockey Life (WHL) focuses on highlighting, promoting and supporting women’s hockey around the world at every level. From youth and university hockey, to the pros and the beer league heroes—they cover it all.
