NATIONAL CHAMPION

The Novas organization would like to extend a huge congratulations to former goaltender Rhyah Stewart on capturing the 2026 NCAA Women’s Hockey National Championship with the Wisconsin Badgers!

Rhyah was a cornerstone of our program during the 2020–2021 season, and even then it was clear she had the drive, composure, and compete level to reach the very top of the game. To see her now standing as a national champion in her freshman season is nothing short of incredible.

From Antigonish to the NCAA’s biggest stage — this is a testament to her work ethic, resilience, and passion for the game.

We are extremely proud to have been a part of her journey and can’t wait to see what comes next.

Congratulations, Rhyah — once a Nova, always a Nova!

Nova Trophy NSU15MHL Player of The Month - November

Our Captain, Oliver MacMullin has been selected as The Nova Trophy NSU15MHL Player of The Month for November.

Oliver has been the steady heartbeat of our team all season, and his impact this month went far beyond the scoresheet. Trusted in every situation, he quarterbacks our breakout, anchors the penalty kill, and leads our top defensive pair with poise and confidence. His ability to control the pace of play and make the right decision under pressure has been instrumental in our success this year.
Offensively, Oliver contributed consistently throughout the month, finishing with six points in seven games, highlighted by a pair of multi-assist performances during a key stretch of wins. But it’s his leadership that truly sets him apart; reliable, composed, and competitive every night, Oliver MacMullin is the engine of our team and a deserving nominee for this month’s award.
