Playing defense for Seneca College in the 1986-87 season, Geraldine Heaney finished second in league scoring with 13 goals and 24 assists for 37 points in just 12 games. Seneca dominated the league that season, going 12 – 0 and scoring 113 goals while allowing just 10. The Scouts, as they were known then, went on to win the OCAA Championship, with Heaney being named to the league and championship all-star teams.

Following her days at Seneca, Heaney went on to an exceptional hockey career for Canada on the international scene. She was the first woman to play in and win seven consecutive World Championships. At the 1992 and 1994 World Championships she received the Directorate Award as the top defenseman. Heaney and her Team Canada teammates won the silver medal at the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, and then brought home the gold medal from the 2002 Games in Salt Lake, after which Heaney retired from the national team.
