Lucy Morgan (born August 18, 2001) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender who is signed as a reserve for the Minnesota Frost of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). She played college ice hockey at St. Lawrence University and the University of Minnesota.
Playing career
Youth
As a youth player, Morgan was part of a massive upset in North Dakota state tournament hockey. Her second year on the team the Mandan Braves, they beat a dominant 15-3-0 Fargo North-South team, who had already begun to plan their post-game celebrations. Morgan stopped 49 of 50 shots and helped Mandan win 2-1 in overtime. She then played for Maple Grove in Minnesota where she posted a .943 save percentage.
College
Morgan began her college ice hockey career at St. Lawrence University, where she was a walk-on to their Division I team. She missed out on recruiting due to playing in a rarely-scouted area for her first two years of high school. St. Lawrence took a chance on her and Morgan earned the starting goaltender position as a freshman. She recorded thirteen shutouts in four years. After averaging a .928 save percentage with St. Lawrence, Morgan used her fifth year of eligibility with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, where she averaged .931 and went 15-3.
Professional
The Minnesota Frost signed Morgan as a Reserve Player for the 2024–25 season after training camp. Following the illness of goaltender Maddie Rooney, the team signed Morgan to a 10-day Standard Player Agreement on January 2, 2025. Prior to the Frost's game against the New York Sirens on January 4, 2025, Nicole Hensley was injured during warmups, elevating Morgan to the starting position for her PWHL debut.
