Maureen Murphy ’26 Appointed APF Ambassador
Maureen Murphy ’26, who combines law studies with playing professional hockey with the Montréal Victoire and was selected as the 2024 Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Community Player of the Year, has been appointed the first ambassador for the Access Psychology Foundation (APF). APF’s mission is to increase access to proven, successful mental healthcare for underserved and racially diverse communities. In her role, Murphy will represent APF through community engagement, advocacy and raising awareness about the importance of mental health access.
“I am proud to team up with the Access Psychology Foundation and use my platform as a professional athlete to help promote awareness about the importance of mental health and educate people about available resources,” said Murphy. “Through my own challenges with mental health, I understand the importance of asking for help when you need it, and I also know that not everyone has the tools to get started.”
In 2017, Murphy represented the United States at the IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship, where she won a gold medal, and as an undergraduate, she reached three consecutive NCAA Frozen Fours with the Northeastern Huskies. Beyond the rink, Murphy volunteers with geriatric patients in Montreal. In 2024, she received the PWHL’s Hockey For All Award, honoring players for their leadership and community contributions.
