Learn more about Madison Packer:

Madison Packer is the current Captain of the Metropolitan Riveters in the Premier Hockey Federation.

Packer started her winning ways in high school when she won gold medals with Team USA at the 2008 and 2009 IIHF U-18 Women’s World Championships, scoring 20 points in 10 games across those tournaments.

Madison then went on to play college hockey at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where her and her team had great success winning a NCAA Championship in 2011. Packer was named to the WCHA All-Academic Team in her senior season in 2013-14. When she completed her collegiate career, Packer was one of just 19 players in Badgers program history to score at least 100 points.

Madison continued this success in the Premier Hockey Federation winning the Isobel Cup, which is the championship trophy in the PHF, with the Riveters in 2018.

In 2019-20, Packer finished fifth in the league in scoring (34), shared the league lead in power play goals (5) and became the first player to score at least eight goals in four consecutive seasons.

A really cool stat I wanted to add - She scored two goals in the PHF Labatt Blue Buffalo Believes Classic, which was the first regular season outdoor game in league history

Madison is the Riveters current all-time leading scorer and is a six-time PHF All-Star.

Outside of Hockey, Madison is the mom to two little kids, Waylon and Harlan, and loves spending every minute she’s not on the ice with her wife and two kiddos.
