Bailey McMaster has committed to the program for the 2025-26 season.

McMaster played collegiate hockey for the Morrisville State College Mustangs, a D III NCAA school in Morrisville, New York, as well as the University of New Brunswick, where she helped the Reds become AUS champions in 2023-24.
  
"Bailey is a dynamic playmaker with outstanding hockey sense and a natural ability to create scoring opportunities," said head coach Brandy West-McMaster. "Her experience as an AUS conference champion and competing at the U SPORTS National Championship brings a level of a maturity and competitiveness that will elevate our team."

During the 2023-24 campaign, McMaster played in 23 regular season games and 6 playoff games for the Reds, finishing with a goal and two assists on the year.

Before joining UNB, she played junior hockey for the Regina Rebels.

McMaster – who will be entering her 3rd-year of eligibility – will be enrolling in the Faculty of Kinesiology & Health Studies in the Fall.
