    Associate Head Coach

  • Caroline Ouellette was named the full-time associate head coach of the Concordia Stingers women's hockey team in 2021.

    The Concordia program is one of the top in the country and Ouellette works hard, along with the other members of the Stingers coaching staff, to keep its high standards. She has been involved with the Stingers as an assistant coach for many years and has been instrumental in helping develop the foundation and philosophies that have led to its success.

    Ouellette was a member of the Canadian national women’s hockey team for 20 years, winning four gold medals at the Winter Olympics and six gold medals at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) world championships. In recognition of her exceptional talent and accomplishments, she was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame on May 28, 2023.

    She made her debut with Team Canada in 1998 and officially retired in 2018. She scored 26 points in Olympic competition – nine goals and 17 assists in 20 games played. A forward, she retired as the third-highest scorer in national team history with 242 points (87 goals, 155 assists) in 220 games.

    A native of Montreal, Ouellette also played several seasons with Les Canadiennes, winning four Clarkson Cup championships.

    The next chapter in her storied hockey career focuses on coaching the Stingers.

    “I love working with this team and I’ve been doing it many years now,” Ouellette said. “It’s a great family and there’s a great staff that really cares. It is a pleasure for me to devote myself full-time in a coaching role.”

    She was instrumental in helping the Stingers win the 2022 U Sports national championship and also a silver medal in 2023.

    Ouellette brings a wealth of coaching experience with her. In addition to being an assistant at Concordia, she was associate head coach of Les Canadiennes for two seasons and with the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association (PWHPA-Montreal) last season. She has worked with national team programs and was part of the coaching staff when Canada won silver medals at the IIHF women’s championships in 2017 and 2019.

    She was also an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota Duluth when its women’s hockey team won the NCAA championship in 2008. She has been involved with countless youth programs and hockey schools.
