Malory joins our team with a Bachelor of Business Administration from Nipissing University, specializing in Human Resources. As a 6-time Academic All-Canadian and a pivotal player for the Nipissing Women’s Hockey Team, she understands the coach-athlete relationship from the inside out. Her experience representing Team Canada at the World University Games adds a national and international perspective to her work.

To honour six close friends she lost between 2017 and 2021, Malory partnered with Wolves Den Gas Bar to turn her on-ice performance into purpose. For every point she scored, a donation was made in their name to KidSport North Bay, helping local youth access sport. It’s a meaningful initiative that reflects her deep connection to the community.

Before joining our team, Malory successfully juggled multiple responsibilities as the Placement Coordinator at Canadore College, ensuring students, schedules, and partnerships all operated smoothly. Malory’s lived experience provides her with a unique lens in the coach development space, particularly when supporting programs focused on effective leadership and athlete engagement.
