According to Western’s recent announcement, “Ellie Seedhouse dominated the rink during her time as a Women’s Ice Hockey player for the Western Mustangs from 2007 to 2011.
For three consecutive years, she led her team in scoring and capped off her senior year as team captain. Her exceptional skills on the ice earned her the title of MVP in three out of her four seasons. Ellie was also recognized as a First Team All-Star, a two-time CIS Academic All-Canadian, and a Purple Blanket Award recipient.
“In 2010, Ellie competed as part of an OUA All-Stars team against the U18 National team, contributing an assist in their 4-2 victory. In January 2011, she represented Canada at the Winter Universiade in Erzurum, Turkey, where she won a gold medal.
“Ellie was selected in the 2014 Canada Women’s Hockey League draft and went on to join the Brampton Thunder. She played 54 games for the Thunder, for Brampton and later in Markham, from 2014 to 2018, culminating her professional career with a Clarkson Cup victory in her final season.
"Following her time at Western, Ellie transitioned into coaching, serving as an assistant coach at Ontario Tech University, and was active in women's hockey development in her hometown of Whitby, before joining The Country Day School as a Phys-Ed and Outdoor Ed teacher in 2015."
On behalf of all of us at CDS, congratulations Ms. Cawfield!
Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
