Sarah Bujold (born 26 February 1996) is a Canadian ice hockey forward for Luleå HF/MSSK of the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL). She has previously played for HV71 Jönköping and Djurgårdens IF Hockey of the SDHL, the Metropolitan Riveters of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF), and Montreal Victoire of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL).
Bujold played five seasons of college ice hockey with the St. Francis Xavier X-Women ice hockey program in the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) of U Sports during 2014 to 2019. She was selected as a first team U Sports All-Star in both the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons, and received the 2017 Brodrick Trophy as U Sports women's ice hockey Player of the Year.[1] [2] Across her five-year college ice hockey career, she averaged 0.93 points per game and, as of 2022, she ranks among the top-ten in X-Women history for career points, career goals, single-season points, and single-season goals.[3] [4]
Following her college career, she planned to play for Les Canadiennes de Montréal in the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) but the league folded in May 2019 and she was forced to explore other options.[5]
Bujold ultimately signed in the Swedish Women's Hockey League (SDHL) with Djurgårdens IF Hockey for the 2019–20 SDHL season. In her debut SDHL season, she tied Jenn Wakefield and Andrea Dalen for most goals scored by a Djurgårdens player and ranked second in scoring on the team, trailing Wakefield by just three points.[6] [7] She remained a key piece of Djurgården's offense after re-signing for the 2020–21 SDHL season, ranking second behind Josephine Jacobsen in both goals and points scored for the team and 24th in points of all SDHL players.[6] [8]
Ahead of the 2021–22 SDHL season, Bujold left Djurgården to sign with HV71 in Jönköping, Sweden. The new environment boosted her to the best offensive production of her SDHL career and she led team in scoring, with twenty goals and fourteen assists for 34 points in 29 games, and ranked twelvth in the league for points.[9]
Bujold signed with Metropolitan Riveters for the 2022–23 PHF season, making her return to North America after three successful seasons in Sweden. She made an immediate impact, receiving PHF first star of the week honors in the opening week of the season,[3] and by season's end, she ranked third in team scoring, behind veteran PHFers Madison Packer and Kelly Babstock.[10] She re-signed with the Riveters for the 2023–24 PHF season, but the contract was voided when the league was bought out and dissolved in June 2023.[11]
Undeterred by the second league collapse of her short career, Bujold declared for the 2023 draft of the newly-established Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). She went undrafted and later explained, "My agent and I definitely thought I would be drafted, even if only in the later rounds... it was disappointing."[6] Despite missing out on a draft slot, several teams extended training camp invitations to her and she opted to attend the training camp of PWHL Montréal (renamed Victoire de Montréal/Montreal Victoire in 2024).[5] [12] Bujold signed a one-season contract with Montréal in November 2023 and was one of two players from New Brunswick to make final rosters for the start of the inaugural PWHL season (the other was goaltender Marlène Boissonnault, who also signed with Montréal).[13]
On December 2, 2024, Bujold returned to the SDHL, signing a one-year contract with Luleå HF/MSSK.[14]
Bujold has a younger sister, Sophie, who plays ice hockey with the UPEI Panthers women's ice hockey program.[15] [16]
She was in relationship with HV71 and Metropolitan Riveters teammate Ebba Berglund for several years during the early 2020s.[17]
