CWHL
A charter member of the Toronto Furies, Cheverie spent six years with the franchise, starting in their inaugural season of 2010-11.
Cheverie made her CWHL debut on October 23, 2010, in a 7-3 loss against the Brampton Thunder. Les than 30 seconds into the second period, Cheverie scored a power play goal in the second period.[2] The assists were credited to LaToya Clarke and fellow rookie Tessa Bonhomme. Said goal was scored on Erika Vanderveer, who would become a future Furies teammate during the 2012-13 season.
Twice during her rookie season, she registered a pair of three point performances. Both against the Boston Blades, the first occurred on January 9, 2011 in 9-4 final,[3] while the second took place on March 11, 2011.[4]
She would finish her rookie season ranked third on the team in scoring, behind fellow rookie Britni Smith (who went on to win the 2011 CWHL Rookie of the Year Award) and Jennifer Botterill.
Having retired from the Furies in 2016, she retired with three franchise records: points (82), games played (152) and power play goals (14). In addition, she holds the league record for most consecutive games played with 152.
The final points of her CWHL career actually occurred in her final regular season game, a February 14, 2016 contest against the Brampton Thunder. Cheverie logged a pair of power play goals in the third period to force overtime.[5] Her final goal was scored at the 18:39 mark of the third period, with Natalie Spooner and Kelly Terry earning the assists. Said goal was scored against Brampton goaltender Erica Howe. Cheverie would finish the 2015-16 season leading the Furies in game-winning goals while ranking second to Spooner in team scoring, respectively.

On June 27, Cheverie registered her only multi-point game at the event, logging a goal and an assist in a 3-1 victory against Great Britain. She would assist on a goal scored by Corriero, while scoring Italy’s final goal of the game.[9]
