BOSTON— Northeastern women's hockey coach Dave Flint has announced the addition of Maude Poulin-Labelle ahead of the 2022-23 season. A defenseman, Poulin-Labelle will use her final year of eligibility as a graduate student at Northeastern after transferring from fellow Hockey East school Vermont.
 
"We are very excited Maude has chosen to use her fifth year of eligibility with us," remarked Flint. "She is a very dynamic defenseman who is a strong defender but also creates a lot offensively. Maude will add veteran leadership to our D-corp after graduating five defensemen this year."
 
A Second Team All-American in 2021-22, Poulin-Labelle was also named Hockey East's Best Defenseman last season alongside Northeastern's own Skylar Fontaine. Poulin-Labelle posted 35 points in 2021-22, the second-most of any Hockey East defenseman and third-most of any defenseman in the country. Her 35 points also set a single-season record for most points scored by defenseman in Vermont history.
 
Over her four-year career at Vermont, Poulin-Labelle posted 80 points off 30 goals and 50 assists. The Sherbrooke, Québec native is a three-time Hockey East All-Star and earned First Team honors for the first time in her career in 2021-22.
