To celebrate National Girls & Women in Sports Day and Women Who Lead, we are featuring Arcadia Women’s Ice Hockey Coach, Kelsey Koelzer. Kelsey Koelzer entered her fourth season coaching at Arcadia in 2024-25. In 2023-24, she led the Knights to their best finish in conference history and the first-ever home playoff game. A Horsham, Pa., native and graduate of Hatboro-Horsham High School, she enjoyed an illustrious Division I collegiate playing career. She was a three-time, First-team All-Ivy League honoree at Princeton University. Kelsey was selected for the United States National Women's Ice Hockey Under-22 team and was a United States Olympic tryout participant a year later. In 2016, the Metropolitan Riveters made her the first-overall pick in the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) Draft, making Kelsey the first African American to be the top selection in the highest level of American professional hockey. She also serves on the NHL/NHLPA Female Hockey Advisory Committee, a group formed to accelerate the growth of female hockey in North America and ensure that girls experience all the opportunities and benefits that the sport provides. In 2021, Kelsey was one of four Honorees during the Women Who Lead Forum event. This year, we are celebrating the 5th anniversary of Women Who Lead being hosted at Arcadia University: Register at the LINK IN BIO! #BlackHistoryMonth #WomenWhoLead #NGWSD2025 #WomenInSports #ArcadiaKnights
