Christina Kessler

Christina Kessler (born May 28, 1988) has competed for the Canadian National women's ice hockey team.

She played for the Burlington Barracudas in the Canadian Women's Hockey League before being claimed by the Brampton Thunder in the dispersal section of the 2012 CWHL Draft.

As a rookie, she logged eight wins, while earning shutouts against the Princeton Tigers (on Nov. 25 and Jan. 5), and against nationally ranked Minnesota Duluth (Dec. 2).

With Kessler in net, the Crimson set the all-time record for fewest goals allowed in a season.

In the 2008 women's Beanpot, Kessler blocked 41 of 43 shots during the tournament to win the Joe Bertagna Award.

Her junior season (2008–09) resulted in her being named to the ECAC Hockey preseason all-league team.

A February 20 win over the St. Lawrence Skating Saints resulted in Kessler's fourth shutout of the season.

In the Crimson's season opening match versus Colgate (contested on October 30, 2009), Kessler registered 29 saves.

Kessler was part of the Canadian Under 22 squad that participated in a three-game series versus the US Under 22 team in August 2009.

She travelled to Bratislava, Slovakia to participate in the 2011 IIHF High Performance Women's Camp from July 4–12.
