Katie Weatherston Hockey Camps

Girls from three Ottawa Valley high schools got up close and personal with an Olympic gold medallist at the Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre.

Katie Weatherston, a member of the Team Canada women’s gold medal-winning ice hockey team of the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin, Italy was in Renfrew conducting a two-hour clinic for girls from the high school hockey programs of the Opeongo Wildcats, Arnprior Redmen and Renfrew Collegiate Raiders.

The 27-year-old Thunder Bay native has enjoyed much success on the ice. After winning two gold medals with Canada’s under-22 team, Weatherston’s progress in hockey continued.

She became a member of the national team in 2004 and won gold at Four Nations Cup tournaments in 2004, 2005 and 2007.

But highlighting her career was gold in Turin. Weatherston had four goals and one assist in five games at the Olympics. Included was the game-winning goal in the semi-final victory over Finland.

She also notched three goals in the 2007 Women’s World Hockey Championships en route to the gold medal, and two goals in the 2008 tournament when the team finished with silver.

Weatherston played college hockey for Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
In four years with the Dartmouth Big Green, she amassed 113 goals in 124 games, including a career-high 38 goals and 15 points in the 2005-06 campaign.
Unfortunately, her playing career was cut short by an injury.
“I got a concussion after a hit from behind. I can’t play any impact sports,” Weatherston pointed out.
