Kelli Stack (born January 13, 1988) is an American ice hockey forward. She is a member of the United States women's national ice hockey team.[1] Stack competed for the Boston College Eagles women's ice hockey program and after completing her Olympic commitment, returned to Boston College for her senior year of 2010–11. She was drafted 14th overall by the Boston Blades in the 2011 CWHL Draft.[2]

Playing career[edit]

NCAA[edit]

On February 8, 2011, with two points in the game against Boston University in the first round of the 2011 Beanpot Tournament, Kelli Stack accumulated 199 points in her career and broke BC's all-time career points record, becoming the new program leader.[3] The previous record had been held by Erin Magee ('99). On January 31, 2011, Kelli Stack became the all-time leading goal scorer in Hockey East Conference history to bring her career total to 65, breaking Jen Hitchcock's (University of New Hampshire) record of 61 goals. Stack is Boston College's all-time scoring leader with 209 points.

Kelli Stack was among the 3 finalists nominated for the 2011 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, presented by Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. An award of The USA Hockey Foundation, the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award is annually bestowed upon the top player in NCAA Division I women's ice hockey. Stack was also nominated for the award in 2009. Stack is also a four-time All-Conference selection, the first player to accomplish this feat in the nine-year history of Hockey East.[4]

At the conclusion of her career at Boston College, Stack was voted the New England Division I Player of the Year after leading Hockey East in points (56) and goals (34). The senior was one of three – the first-ever from BC – finalists for the Patty Kazmaier Award. The Second Team All-American scored two goals to help advance the Eagles to the Frozen Four for the second time in her tenure. The three-time Hockey East Player of the Year racked up 58 points this season and concluded her collegiate career as BC's all-time leading scorer with 209 points.
