– Tanis Lamoureux was named an athletic assistant for the Utica College women’s hockey team on Monday. She will assist Head Coach Dave Clausen with all facets of the program including practice and game preparation, recruiting and office management.
Lamoureux graduated from Elmira College with her Bachelor’s degree in Biology in the Spring of 2014. She played on the Soaring Eagles hockey team from 2010-2014 and was named team captain in her final two seasons. In her senior campaign on the ice she was named an American Hockey Coaches Association Second Team All-American and an ECAC West First Team All-Conference selection. She was also selected as an ECAC West All-Tournament Team member for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons.
She helped Elmira secure the NCAA Division III Women’s Hockey National Championship in 2013 and she ranks among the top ten in several categories, including points and game-winning goals, in the Soaring Eagles’ career record book. Lamoureux had by far the best season of her Elmira College career as a senior, totaling career bests with 13 goals, 25 assists, and 38 points. She finished in the top 10 in the country in points per game (1.36), assists per game (0.89), and game-winning goals (4). After four years with the Purple and Gold, Lamoureux skated away as the program’s eighth all-time leading scorer with 106 career points on 44 goals and 62 assists.
Lamoureux has worked as a camp counselor and coach at countless hockey camps, including the Vigilante Hockey Camp in Plymouth, Massachusetts; the Power Shot Hockey Academy in Livonia, Michigan; and she also spent four years as a volunteer within the Elmira Youth Hockey ranks.
Her accomplishments and determination on the ice were equally matched by her efforts off the ice. She was named an ECAC West All-Academic selection from 2011-2014 for her consistency in the classroom. She also conducted her own individual research project in San Salvador, Bahamas and was a research intern in Mossel Bay, South Africa.
As an undergraduate at Elmira she worked for two years in the athletic department where she was responsible for administrative assistance.
Originally from Canton, Michigan, she was a 2010 graduate of Salem High School. She was also a member of the Victory Honda Girls 19U team prior to attending Elmira.
