Kacey Lee Bellamy, born on April 22, 1987, in Westfield, Massachusetts, stands as a trailblazing figure in women’s ice hockey, renowned for her defensive prowess and leadership on the ice.

She dedicated over 15 years to the sport at the highest levels, representing the United States with unwavering commitment and becoming a symbol of resilience and excellence.

Growing up in a hockey-centric family in Westfield, Bellamy’s early exposure to the game shaped her into a versatile athlete who also excelled in field hockey and softball during her prep school years at the Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts, where she graduated in 2005.

Her journey from local rinks to global stages exemplifies the sacrifices and triumphs inherent in pursuing athletic dreams, culminating in a retirement announcement in 2021 that marked the end of an era but the beginning of her influence as a motivational speaker, author, and mentor.

Siblings

Kacey has three siblings.

The eldest among her siblings is her brother Robby Bellamy, who ignited Kacey’s love for hockey by introducing her to the game at a young age; Robby enjoyed a successful collegiate career as a four-year letterwinner at the University of Maine before advancing to professional ranks, including stints with the Philadelphia Phantoms in the American Hockey League and later the Adirondack Phantoms.

Following closely is her younger brother Corey Bellamy, who emulated his siblings’ footsteps by pursuing hockey at the collegiate level with Becker College and continuing into professional play with teams like the Huntsville Havoc in the SPHL.

Rounding out the quartet is her sister Lindsey Bellamy, the youngest of the group, who, while less documented in competitive athletics, played a vital emotional role in the family dynamic

Career

Bellamy’s collegiate journey began at the University of New Hampshire from 2005 to 2009, where she amassed an impressive 107 points (27 goals and 80 assists) in 143 games, ranking third all-time among Wildcats defensemen in career points and establishing herself as a cornerstone of the program with a plus-39 rating in her freshman year alone.

Transitioning seamlessly to the professional ranks, Bellamy joined the Boston Blades in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League for five seasons (2010 to 2015), contributing to back-to-back Clarkson Cup victories in 2013 and 2015 while participating in the 2014 CWHL All-Star Game.

In 2015, she signed with the inaugural Boston Pride squad in the National Women’s Hockey League, now the Premier Hockey Federation, where she made history in the league’s first game by recording two assists, the first multi-point performance by a blueliner, and helped secure the inaugural Isobel Cup in 2016.

Bellamy’s international tenure with the United States Women’s National Team, spanning 2005 to 2021, saw her compete in 130 games, including three Olympic appearances in the 2010 Vancouver, 2014 Sochi, and 2018 PyeongChang Games, as well as every IIHF Women’s World Championship since 2008.

Serving as alternate captain on multiple occasions, she transitioned from a point-producing defenseman early in her career to a physical, shot-blocking presence that was instrumental in high-pressure matchups against rivals like Canada.

Post-retirement from playing in 2021, Bellamy channeled her expertise into coaching and development, serving as Director of Athletic Development at Maples Crossing for five years before joining the Boston Fleet as a Player Development Consultant in 2025, while also establishing herself as a motivational speaker and Division I assistant coach advocating for women’s advancement in sports.

Accolades

On the international stage, Bellamy claimed Olympic gold at the 2018 PyeongChang Games, ending a 20-year United States drought in a dramatic shootout against Canada, alongside silver medals from the 2010 Vancouver and 2014 Sochi Olympics, where she served as alternate captain in 2018.

Her dominance in IIHF Women’s World Championships yielded eight gold medals in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2019, one silver in 2012, and seven Four Nations Cup titles, positioning her as one of only two players to win eight world golds and among the elite 13 to compete in three or more Olympic teams.

Collegiately at the University of New Hampshire, Bellamy earned Hockey East First Team All-Star and Tournament MVP honors in 2009, alongside Second Team All-Star selections in 2007 and 2008, USCHO All-Rookie Team in 2006, two Hockey East All-Tournament Team nods in 2006 and 2007, and the prestigious RBK All-America First Team as a senior captain; she was further recognized on Hockey East’s 10th Anniversary Team and as UNH’s Jim Urquhart Student-Athlete of the Year.

In professional leagues, her contributions included two Clarkson Cups with the Boston Blades in 2013 and 2015 and the inaugural Isobel Cup with the Boston Pride in 2016.
