The 2025-26 campaign will be Blake's third season as Assistant Coach of the Vermont Women's Hockey Team.
Blake, in her third season with the Catamounts, anchored a penalty kill unit that delivered down the stretch, finishing a perfect 30-for-30 over the team’s final eight games. Vermont also added three shorthanded goals during conference play, finishing one shy of knotting the program record.
Blake came to Catamount Country after serving in the same role at Sacred Heart for four seasons. Excluding the COVID-shortened 2020-21 campaign the Pioneers won at least 16 games each season with Blake on the bench. During the 2021-22 campaign, she coached NEWHA Defensive Player of the Year Kelly Solak. Solak led all NEWHA defenders in point scoring, logging 21 points. Solak led the NEWHA in plus-minus (+23) and helped her team to the fourth-best penalty kill (92.6%) in the nation.
During the 2022-23 season, Blake’s penalty kill unit was the best in the NCAA. The Pioneers limited their opponents to just eight power play tallies successfully killing off 91.0% of their opponent’s opportunities.
Before SHU Blake worked at the Pro-Vision Hockey Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee where she served as the academy's skills and development coach. She is a graduate of SUNY Oswego where she played on the women's hockey team for four seasons. While at Oswego, she was named the 2018 NEWHL playoff MVP.
