2026 NCAA Women’s Hockey National Champion - Rhyah Stewart

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!
