Toni Ann Miano is a dedicated leader in women’s hockey development, with an impressive background as both a player and mentor. In 2019, she founded Eagles Elite Sports, a women’s hockey development company that coaches and mentors more than 400 female athletes through camps, clinics, and spring and summer development programs. That same year, she became the Director of the North American Hockey Academy (NAHA) in Braintree, Massachusetts. She graduated from Boston College in 2018 with a degree in Communications and minors in Marketing and Entrepreneurship.

Miano concluded her collegiate career as one of the most decorated defensemen in Boston College women’s hockey history. She earned All-America honors, received a Top 10 nomination for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, and was unanimously named Hockey East’s Best Defenseman. Her offensive contributions helped establish her as a standout player, setting Boston College’s career goals record for defensemen with 36 goals. She also recorded 102 career points and 66 assists, while setting Hockey East records for career points by a defenseman (65), career goals by a defenseman (26), and goals in a single game by a defenseman (4).

During her time at Boston College, Miano helped lead the Eagles to three Frozen Four appearances, one national championship game, two Hockey East championships, and three Beanpot championships. Following her collegiate career, she continued playing professionally with the Boston Pride during the 2018–2019 season.

Miano’s connection to NAHA began long before she became the director. She attended the academy from 2011 to 2014, spending three years on the White Team and helping lead the program to three Junior Women’s Hockey League (JWHL) championships. During her senior year in 2014, she served as team captain and was named JWHL Defenseman of the Year. In 2013, she attended USA Hockey’s Women’s National Team Festival and competed in the USA vs. Canada series with the U.S. Under-18 team.

From her early days as a NAHA athlete to her success at Boston College and her continued commitment to developing the next generation of female hockey players, Miano’s career reflects her passion for the game and dedication to growing women’s hockey.
