Playing career

Wisconsin Badgers

Her freshman season with the Badgers was in 2006-07. She ranked second on the team with 52 points, as she led freshmen in scoring, while scoring 26 goals. During the season, she scored three game-winning goals and recorded 16 multi-point games. In the NCAA, her 52 points were good enough for third in the nation in rookie scoring. Duggan earned three consecutive WCHA Rookie of the Week honors, becoming the first Badger to ever win a conference award in three straight weeks.[2] In addition, she accumulated five WCHA weekly honors overall, the most by a Badgers player in a single season.

Duggan competed for the Wisconsin Badgers women's ice hockey program. On January 21–22, 2011, she led the top-ranked Badgers with four scoring points in a win and tie at defending national champion Minnesota Duluth. Duggan registered two goals and two assists against the Bulldogs, recorded nine shots on goal and finished with a +4 plus/minus rating in the two games. She led all players with three points in the January 21 win (4-1). She scored the Badgers first goal of the game (it was the first women’s college hockey goal scored at the Bulldogs new AMSOIL Arena). In the second period, she assisted on a power-play tally to give Wisconsin a 3-0 lead. In the final two minutes, she had an empty net goal. The following day, both clubs skated to a 4-4 tie (Wisconsin prevailed 2-1 in the shootout). Duggan assisted on the Badgers’ second goal of the game and extended her current point streak to 22 games, the longest individual point streak in Wisconsin women’s hockey history. On January 21, she broke the previous mark of 20 games set by Meghan Hunter from Oct. 14, 2000 to Jan. 12, 2001.[3]

Duggan finished the season as the WCHA scoring champion by accumulating 61 points (27 goals, 34 assists) in 28 games.[4] On March 12, 2011, she scored the game winning goal (it was her sixth game winning goal of the season) in the NCAA regional playoff, as Wisconsin defeated Minnesota-Duluth by a 2-1 mark.[5]

Duggan's first experience with USA Hockey came when she attended Player Development Camps with the organization in 2003, 2004 and 2005.[6] Her first international play was with the American Under-22 Select Team in 2007 and 2008 for their series against Canada's team in the same age group. In 2008, Duggan co-captained the American team at this event.[6]

Duggan's first International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) tournament with the American senior women's team was the 2007 IIHF Women's World Championship held in Manitoba, Canada. Duggan recorded a single assist for the Americans at the tournament, as they took home the silver medal.[7] At the 2008 World Championship, Duggan scored four goals and added an assist to finish 16th overall in tournament scoring.[8] At the 2009 tournament, the American team captured its second straight gold medal by defeating Canada in the final.[7] Duggan scored two goals in the tournament, finishing tenth on the American team in scoring.[9] She was named to USA Hockey's preliminary roster for the 2011 Championship, and will attend the selection camp starting April 4, 2011.[10]

Like many NCAA women's hockey players, Duggan took a year off from school for the 200910 season to focus on making her country's team for the 2010 Winter Olympics.[11] USA Hockey assembled the team for tryouts starting in August, 2009 and Duggan was on the team when the roster was announced in December, 2009.[12] In celebration, her mother hung an Olympic flag outside Duggan's childhood home in Danvers, Massachusetts. Duggan had been working towards the Olympics for a long time, "I have been making sacrifices the last 10 years, leaving my family to compete at a higher level at a boarding school, and now that dream is less than two weeks away from becoming reality."[13] At the Olympics, Duggan played mainly with Gigi Marvin and Natalie Darwitz.[13] She finished the tournament with four goals, as the American team captured the silver medal.[7] At the 2011 IIHF Women's World Championship, Meghan Duggan was among the tournament's top five scorers. Duggan was fifth with seven points (four goals, three assists).[14]
