Megan Myers joined the Boston University women's ice hockey program as an assistant coach in May 2023.

Myers helped coach BU to its sixth Hockey East Championship and a 24-12-2, 18-7-2 HE record. The forwards produced 180 of BU’s 253 points with junior Sydney Healey leading the way with 23. Healey was named a Hockey East and a New England Hockey Writer’s Association All-Star. Healey and fellow junior Riley Walsh were named to the Hockey East All-Tournament Team, with Healey also receiving MVP honors.
 
Myers, who oversees the forwards, helped develop senior Lacey Martin into BU’s top scorer for the 2023-24 season. Martin was named a Hockey East All-Star after amassing 27 points from 14 goals and 13 assists.

Myers rejoined BU head coach Tara Watchorn after the two coached together at Stonehill. Myers was named Stonehill’s first full-time assistant coach in August 2021 and helped Watchorn prepare the Skyhawks program for its inaugural season. She had previous experience in building a program from the ground up, having assisted at Becker College for its first five seasons, and helped the Hawks earn four Colonial Hockey Conference tournament appearances.

At Stonehill, Myers helped the Skyhawks to a 17-15-2 record and the No. 3 seed in the NEWHA playoffs. The team won its first five conference games and finished first in the nation in shorthanded goals (10) and ninth in power-play goals (21).

A teammate of Watchorn during their playing days for the Boston Blades of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League (CWHL), Myers is a longtime staff member for the Can/Am Hockey Camps in Lake Placid during the summer months and was a college advisor and skills director with CarShield Hockey in Saint Louis, working with girls’ camps and clinics for all ages from the U-11 to U-18 levels and assisting players on their individual college hockey recruiting process.

Myers was a standout at Utica College, garnering All-ECAC honors all four years for the Pioneers and serving as captain her senior year while earning CCM All-America honors. Myers finished her collegiate career with 74 goals and 69 assists for 143 points, totals that rank first in program history for goals, second in points and fourth for assists. She was inducted to the Utica Athletics Hall of Fame in 2022.

Myers went on to play five seasons with the Boston Blades, serving as team captain, where she was also a member of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League Players’ Association (CWHLPA).
