    Three-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time World Championship gold medalist Meghan Agosta has officially announce her retirement from international competition.

    The 37-year-old Ruthven, Ontario product last played for Canada at the 2018 Olympics winning silver. 

    At the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, Agosta was the Top Scorer, Most Valuable Player, and Best Forward at the tournament.

    She was a four time top three finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award playing for Mercyhurst in the NCAA and was twice won the Angela James Bowl as the CWHL's top scorer, and was the CWHL's MVP in 2012.

    “As I announce my retirement from Hockey Canada, I reflect on a journey that began with a childhood dream of proudly wearing the Maple Leaf on the world stage. From the moment I first donned the jersey, to representing Canada at world championships and the Olympic Games, that dream became a reality,” Agosta said in a Hockey Canada news release. “Looking back, as I embark on this new chapter and with a little girl of my own eager to follow in my footsteps, I am overwhelmed with pride. Every moment and memory has shaped the career I hold dear, and I owe immense gratitude to my family, teammates and coaches, whose unwavering support propelled me forward, their belief in me fuelling every stride, goal and victory.”

    Agosta finished her international career with five gold medals and seven silver in a Team Canada uniform. She was twice named a tournament All-Star at the Olympics.

    “I am eternally grateful to my family, whose love and sacrifices have been my foundation. To my teammates, who became sisters on the ice, I thank you for the camaraderie, laughter and shared triumphs, and for the bonds we forged that transcend the game,” said Agosta. “To the coaches whose guidance and mentorship sculpted me into the player and person I am today, your impact will endure long beyond the rink. To the Canadian fans whose cheers echoed in arenas across the globe, thank you for the unwavering support and the passion that fuelled our fire every game. It has been an honour to represent Canada, wear the red and white with pride, and inspire the next generation of athletes.”

    Since leaving hockey, Agosta has been working as a police officer in Vancouver.
