Chelsey Goldberg
Chelsey Goldberg (born January 30, 1993) is an American ice hockey player who currently plays for the Boston Blades in the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL). Prior to her professional career, Goldberg played four seasons for the Northeastern University Huskies women's ice hockey team.

Early life 
Goldberg was raised in Agoura Hills, California, and is Jewish. She attended Agoura High School, where she played lacrosse for three years. She played ice hockey for the Ventura Mariners and L.A. Select before she moved to Vermont for her last two years of high school.  Prior to attending university, she played competitive hockey at North American Hockey Academy in Stowe, Vermont, as part of the Junior Women's Hockey League, where she was named to the 2011 All Star team. At age 18 she broke her left fibula in competition, and then a year later her right fibula during a game.

University career 
Goldberg played as a forward for the Northeastern University Huskies women's ice hockey team over four seasons, beginning with the 2011–12 season, winning a Beanpot championship in two of them. In her sophomore year she needed surgery to remove five screws and a plate from her left fibula that were causing nerve pain.  During her college days she competed in 90 games in the Women's Hockey East Association of NCAA Division 1. She was named to the  2012-13 Hockey East All-Academic Team, and named WHEA Co-Player of the Week on October 7, 2013. There she also served as a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, where she was elected the group's president and acted as an ambassador of the program, traveled to nations including Kenya on philanthropic missions.

Professional career 
In 2015 Goldberg was selected eighth in the NWHL draft. In August 2016 Goldberg was then drafted sixth overall by the Boston Blades of the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL). The chief scout of the team said that she would have been drafted a year prior, but for a series of injuries that Goldberg suffered during her career—including two broken legs. Goldberg scored her first CWHL goal in her second game, playing against Les Canadiennes de Montreal.

Accolades
Goldberg was inducted into the Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2020.
