Keri Clougherty enters her first season with the Colonials in 2025-26.
She joined RMU after completing her collegiate career at Boston College, where she played four seasons as a defenseman in Hockey East. Beyond her contributions on the ice, she distinguished herself as a campus leader. She served as President of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), was named an ACC Top Six for Service honoree, and became a Top 5 Finalist for the 2025 NCAA Hockey Humanitarian Award, recognizing her for significant contributions to both her team and community.
She was also awarded the prestigious Welles Crowther "#19" Patch, presented annually to the BC student-athlete who best exemplifies the motto "men and women for others."
Her community impact includes work with Newton Athletes Unlimited, Morgan's Message, and multiple youth hockey coaching initiatives through Paul Vincent Hockey, Pioneer Valley Hockey Camp, and her own summer training program, Clougherty Hockey. These efforts underscore her dedication to mentorship, development, and using the sport to uplift others.
At Boston College, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Psychology and Human Development.
With the staff, Clougherty will play a key role in working with the Colonials' defensive core while leading initiatives in skill development, video review, and the program's growing emphasis on leadership training.
