A Dual‑Sport Phenomenon
Makenna Webster, a standout athlete who has excelled at both ice hockey and field hockey, was selected by the Sirens in the third round of the 2025 Premier Women’s Hockey League draft. Her name quickly became synonymous with versatility, as she navigated two demanding sports at the highest collegiate level.
Originally focused on field hockey with the goal of representing the United States at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, Webster later reconsidered her path. She ultimately signed a three‑year contract with the Sirens, a move that reflects both her adaptability and her ambition to compete at the elite level in a new arena.
From Field to Ice
Webster’s résumé reads like a sports encyclopedia. She is a two‑time NCAA ice‑hockey champion and a three‑time All‑American in field hockey, and she represented the United States in both sports as a teenager. Her achievements have placed her among the most decorated dual‑sport players of her generation.
Training for two sports simultaneously has required innovative solutions. At Ohio State University, her coaches devised a hybrid workout program that allows her to split time between the rink and the turf. Last year she spent months in Charlotte, North Carolina, training with the U.S. field‑hockey team while also coaching a local youth hockey squad, blending competition with mentorship.
General manager Pascal Daoust praised the new signing, highlighting Webster’s speed, competitiveness and relentless work ethic. "She brings a unique blend of skill sets that will elevate our young core, which already features Sarah Fillier, Kristýna Kaltounková and Casey O’Brien," Daoust said. The Sirens’ management sees her as a cornerstone for future success.
Although Webster is not currently on the FIH World Cup roster, she remains an Olympic hopeful. Her ability to thrive in multiple disciplines signals a career that could redefine what it means to be a dual‑sport athlete, inspiring teammates and fans alike.
