ADRIAN, Mich. – Three Adrian College women's hockey alumni have recently signed professional contracts to continue their careers overseas.

Maya Roy '23 and Aileena Dopheide '24 signed with ERC Ingolstadt of the German Women's Ice Hockey League (DFEL), while Maya Tupper '22 signed with Sapporo Infinity of the Japan Women's Hockey League (JWHL).

After graduating, Tupper began her professional journey in Austria with Lakers Kärnten of the European Women's Hockey League (EWHL), appearing in six regular-season games and recording one goal and one assist. She added three more assists in four playoff games.

Roy had an outstanding five-year career at Adrian, appearing in 118 games and recording 28 goals and 94 assists. She was a four-time All-Conference selection and earned First Team AHCA All-American honors in 2024, followed by Second Team recognition in 2025. In her final season, Roy set a new single-season record for assists at Adrian, finishing with 35.

Dopheide was another key contributor for the Bulldogs, skating in 112 games over her career and posting 26 goals and 58 assists for 84 points.
