All-Ivy League women's ice hockey players (2000–2009)
The All-Ivy League women's ice hockey players (2000–2009) designation refers to a selection of the most outstanding female ice hockey players from the eight universities comprising the Ivy League: Brown University, Columbia University (Barnard College), Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.
This specific time period, spanning from the 2000-2001 season to the 2008-2009 season, represents a defined era in Ivy League women's ice hockey. The All-Ivy League teams are typically chosen annually by a vote of the league's head coaches. Coaches cannot vote for their own players.
Selection is based on performance during the regular season. Recognition is usually given to a First Team, a Second Team, and an Honorable Mention list. Criteria considered for selection often include statistics (goals, assists, points), on-ice leadership, defensive prowess, and overall impact on the team's success. Goaltenders are evaluated based on save percentage, goals-against average, and shutouts.
Players named to the All-Ivy League teams during this period often went on to achieve success in professional leagues such as the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) and the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL), as well as represent their respective countries in international competitions. Being named to an All-Ivy League team is a significant accomplishment and a reflection of athletic excellence and contribution to the sport within the context of rigorous academic demands. Historical records of All-Ivy League teams can be found on the official websites of the Ivy League institutions and through various sports news archives.
