Béatrice Bilodeau on Growing Up in Quebec Hockey, Choosing Ottawa, and Wearing the 'C'
About this episode
Béatrice Bilodeau discusses her journey in hockey, leadership, and community involvement.
Some players choose a program for the ranking. Béatrice Bilodeau chose Ottawa because it felt like home. The Gee-Gees captain grew up in Quebec's hockey culture, played on boys' teams until she was 12, and developed through one of the province's most competitive junior pathways before making a deliberate decision to come to uOttawa. Not for the profile. For the fit. In this episode, we get into what shaped her as a player, what leadership looks like from the inside, and how she carries that same commitment into her community work with youth programs, mentorship, and seniors in long-term care, which culminated in being awarded the Marion Hilliard Award in earlier this month.
