Playing career
Northeastern
Scamurra was a leading power forward for Northeastern, often paired with Kazmaier Award winner Kendall Coyne. In four years, she played in 123 games, scoring 111 points.[1]
In her freshman season (2013–14), she was chosen as a Hockey East Pro Ambitions All-Rookie Forward,[2] as well as the Rookie of the Month for February, 2014. In the following year, she was third on the team in goals, despite playing in only 19 contests.
Her junior season (2015–16) was her breakout year, as she amassed 43 points, and had a plus/minus rating of +43. She was a key teammate of Coyne, assisting on her 50th goal of the year.
In her final season (2016–17), Scamurra scored 8 goals and an impressive 23 assists, despite losing Kendall Coyne as a linemate. After that season, she was lauded as the WHEA Best Defensive Forward.[3]
Professional hockey
In the 2016 NWHL Draft, Hayley Scamurra was chosen by the Buffalo Beauts, as the 10th overall pick, and the third chosen by Buffalo. Following the WHEA Championship game on March 5, 2017 (lost to BC 1-2 in overtime), she quickly signed with Buffalo to help with the end of season push for the Isobel Cup.
Retaining her college jersey number 14, she was able to appear in the final regular season game, against the Connecticut Whale. She scored a goal in the first period of that game.
In the Isobel Cup playoffs, Scamurra scored 4 points (1 G, 3 A) in two games, including an assist in the March 19 Championship, won by Buffalo.[4]
