Hall of Fame
When hockey was added to the College of Saint Benedict athletic department in the late 1990s, Paula Vogt-McGee made sure that the program got off to a good start.
Vogt-McGee transferred to CSB after playing one season with the Gophers at the University of Minnesota, and she made an immediate impact. Fast forward to 2018, and Vogt-McGee is still one of the best players in Saint Benedict hockey history.
After joining CSB’s program as a sophomore in 1998-99, Vogt-McGee helped Saint Benedict to a fourth-place finish in the team’s first official season with the MIAC. The next season she played a key role in the team’s 14-12-1 record, and the team followed that up with 12 wins – including nine MIAC wins – in her senior season in 2000-01. Fourteen wins is the most in program history.
Along the way in her CSB career, Vogt-McGee earned All-MIAC First-Team honors all three seasons, and she is one of just three CSB hockey players to have three or more first-team honors in a career. She earned multiple MIAC Athlete of the Week honors and was twice named the team’s MVP.
Not only did Vogt-McGee help the team to its most successful stretch in its infancy as a program, she also set several individual records that still stand. She holds the school’s career record for goals, points per game and plus/minus in a career and goals, points and points per game in a season.
After graduating from Saint Benedict with a degree in social science, Vogt-McGee obtained her doctorate in pharmacy from Midwestern University in Glendale, Ariz. She and her husband, Paul McGee, live in Peoria, Ariz., with their three daughters and Vogt-McGee is a pharmacist at CVS pharmacy.
