Playing career

PWHL

Nurse won a silver medal with Stoney Creek at the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA) provincials. She also won a bronze medal in high school at the 2010 OFSSAA championships, and a silver at OFSSAA 2011. In 2010, she played with Team Heaney and reached the quarter-finals of the 2010 Ontario Winter Games.

During the 2010-11 PWHL season, she led the Stoney Creek Jr. Sabres in scoring. She was named to the OWHA All-Star Team for a game vs. Team Ontario Under-18. For the 2011-12 PWHL season, she was named an alternate captain with Stoney Creek. She helped the club win a bronze medal at the PWHL championships. She ranked second on the club in Stoney Creek scoring.

With the Stoney Creek Jr. Sabres of the PWHL, she broke the league record shared by Kelly Sabatine and Thea Imbrogno for most goals in a season. Breaking the mark in the 2012-13 season, Nurse scored 35 goals, highlighted by a hat trick in the final game of the season.[2]

Nurse was a member of Team Ontario Red that competed at the 2011 and 2012 National Women’s Under-18 Championship, winning gold in 2011 and a bronze in 2012. She was a member of the Canadian team that captured gold at the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship.

At the 2015 Nations Cup, Nurse was a member of Canada's U22/Development Team, winning a gold medal. In a 4-1 win over Finland on January 3, 2015, she contributed two assists.[3]

An 8-2 win on December 4, 2016 against the Badgers archrivals, the Minnesota Golden Gophers provided Nurse with a career milestone. Playing in front of a sellout crowd at Labahn Arena, Nurse scored a hat trick, becoming the first player in program history to score a hat trick against Minnesota.[4]
