by Ryan Fay

Former Union women's hockey forward Emma Rambo was drafted by the Boston Blades in Monday's Canadian Women's Hockey League draft.

Rambo, who graduated this spring, was the team's 13th round pick.

“I'm so excited and honored to be selected by such a high caliber team such as the Blades," Rambo said in a release. "I'm looking forward to continuing the Boston legacy and continuing my career in the next level."

The 22-year-old accumulated 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in her four years at Union. She ranks second in program history with 135 career games played, trailing only Dania Simmonds and Rhianna Kurio, who appeared in 136 games apiece.

Kurio, one of Rambo's teammates at Union the past four seasons, was also selected in Monday's CWHL draft. Kurio was drafted by Alberta in the 12th round.

The five-team CWHL is the world's premier women's hockey league. In addition to Alberta and Boston, the league also has teams in Montreal, Toronto, and Brampton (Ontario). It was founded in 2007.
