Chloé Aurard (born 15 March 1999) is a French professional ice hockey forward for New York of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL), and the French national team.

Playing career

Pre-college career

In the 2013–14 season, Aurard played in the France women's ice hockey league, the top level of women's ice hockey in the country. In a season that began when she was just 14 years old, she ranked second in league scoring with 17 goals and 24 points in 11 games.[1]

Aurard attended high school in Vermont.[2]

Collegiate career

Aurard made her debut for Northeasten University in the 2018–19 season. Her first career point came on 5 October 2018, scoring a shorthanded goal in a 5–0 victory over Boston University. She would go on to record 12 goals and 31 points in 35 games, earning Hockey East first-team all-star honors. She and Northeastern won the Hockey East championship.[3]

Aurard's sophomore season saw her scoring increase to 21 goals and 49 points in 38 games, including a five-point outing against College of the Holy Cross on 29 November 2019, one of an NCAA-leading two hat-tricks. She was named a first-team Hockey East all-star for the second time, and was named to the conference's all-tournament team as she and the Huskies again won the Hockey East championship.[3]

The 2020–21 season saw Aurard lead the NCAA in game-winning goals and shorthanded goals, with six and three, respectively. She recorded her third career hat-trick in February 2021, and finished in the top 10 in goal scoring, with 15. Northeastern won their fourth consecutive Hockey East title, Aurard's third, and she was named to the first all-conference team for the third time in three years.[3]

In her senior year, the 2021–22 season, Aurard recorded 20 goals and 42 points, as well as her fourth career hat-trick. She was named to the conference all-tournament team for the second time as the Huskies once again won the Hockey East conference, and was named to the second all-conference team, her fourth all-star team nod in as many years.[3]

Returning for her final year of NCAA eligibility, Aurard finished eighth in the country with a career-best 54 points in 38 games as Northeastern clinched yet another Hockey East title. She was named to the second all-conference team, achieving all-Hockey East honors and winning the conference in every year of her collegiate career. She finished her time with the Huskies fourth in team all-time points (204) and goals (89), and third in assists (115).[3]  

Professional career

Aurard signed with the Boston Pride of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) on 12 May 2023, shortly after the team signed fellow Northeastern alumnus Alina Müller.[4] They would never play for the club, as the PHF would be bought out and dissolved to make way for the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).[5]

On 18 September 2023, Aurard was selected in the 4th round of the 2023 PWHL Draft, 21st overall by New York. She was the first French player to be affiliated with a PWHL team.[6][7] She signed a two-year contract with the club on 13 November 2023.[8][9] In the team's inaugural outing, a 4–0 victory over Toronto, she recorded two assists.[10][11] She scored her first PWHL goal on 28 February 2024, in a 4–2 loss to Ottawa, becoming the first player from France to score a goal in the league.[12] She would finish the season with one goal and eight points.[13]
