Agosta switched from figure skating to hockey at age 6. As a teenager, Agosta participated in AAA boys hockey with the Chatham-Kent Cyclones. With the Cyclones, Agosta was part of Alliance Championship teams.[1] She later competed for the AA Windsor Wildcats[permanent dead link] of the Ontario Provincial Women's Hockey League. At the 2003 Canada Winter Games, her goal clinched the win for Team Ontario. A teammates was Haley Irwin. She was a gold medallist for Team Ontario Red at the National Under 18 championships in 2005. Agosta is an accomplished inline hockey player. She was a gold medallist for Canada at the 2004 World Inline Hockey Championship.[2]


College


Agosta distinguished herself as at Mercyhurst College when a freshman in NCAA Division I hockey during the 2006–07 season. She became the first freshman ever to make the final three for the Patty Kazmaier Award.[3] She was also a First Team All-American and a unanimous choice for CHA Player of the Year. She helped lead Mercyhurst to the NCAA quarterfinals and to its inaugural No. 1 national ranking.

During the 2007–08 season, Agosta tied Krissy Wendell's one season record of 7 shorthanded goals.[4] In the 2008–09 season, Agosta would tie Wendell's career mark of 16 shorthanded goals. She led the 2008–09 Mercyhurst Lakers women's ice hockey team to the finals of the NCAA women's hockey championship. She was captain of the Lakers that season, as she earned numerous accolades. These included being selected as a 2009 First Team All-American, a Patty Kazmaier Award Final Three, College Hockey America Player of the Year, CHA Three-Star Player of the Year, CHA All-Tournament Team, and the Frozen Four All-Tournament Team.[3] For the month of October 2010 (her first month back to the NCAA), Agosta scored 10 goals and had 19 points.[5] On January 21 and 22, Agosta recorded five points on two goals and three assists in a two-game sweep of Robert Morris. On January 21, she scored a goal and dished out two assists in a 6–3 win. The next day, she scored her 26th of the season while the Lakers were short-handed, and added an assist. On February 4, 2011, Meghan Agosta became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women's hockey history with three goals and one assist in Mercyhurst College's 6–2 win over Wayne State.[6] Wayne State goalie DeLayne Brian was the goaltender in net when Agosta broke the record. Agosta's four points gave her 286 career points, one more than ex-Harvard forward Julie Chiu's record of 285 set in 2006–07. Agosta, who also owns the record for most short-handed goals and game-winning goals, added three assists in the Lakers' 3–1 win over Wayne State on February 5.[7] On February 25, 2011, Agosta scored her 151st career goal to become all-time leading goal scorer in NCAA history.

She accomplished this in a 6–2 victory over the Robert Morris Colonials women's ice hockey program at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. She surpassed Harvard's Nicole Corriero, who set the record at 150 during the 2004–05 season. The goal was scored on the power play at 15:18 of the second period with the assist going to Bailey Bram. She later added her 152nd goal in the third period.[8] Agosta was featured in Sports Illustrated's Faces in the Crowd feature in the February 21, 2011 issue (as recognition of becoming the all-time NCAA scorer).[9] In 2011, Agosta was named CHA Player of the Year as well as a First Team All-CHA selection, marking the fourth time in her career she captured both accolades.[10] On March 5, 2011, Agosta scored three goals in the CHA championship game. With the hat trick, she topped 300 points for her NCAA career as the Lakers defeated Syracuse 5–4 and captured its ninth straight College Hockey America title.[11] On March 12, 2011, Agosta scored two goals in her final NCAA game, in what would be a 4–2 loss to the Boston university Terriers in the NCAA regional playoffs.[12]


CWHL


In the 2011–12 season, Stars forward Agosta won the Angela James Bowl while breaking the league's single-season scoring record. Her 80 points (41 goals and 39 assists) broke the previous record of 69 points held by Jayna Hefford.[13] By winning the 2012 Clarkson Cup, she became an unofficial member of the Triple Gold Club (the accomplishment by women is not yet officially recognized by the IIHF), as she became one of only five women to win the Clarkson Cup, a gold medal in Winter Olympics, and a gold medal at the IIHF World Women's Championships. She joined Caroline Ouellette, Jenny Potter, Kim St-Pierre, and Sarah Vaillancourt.

In the 2012–13 season, Agosta became the first two-winner of the Angela James Bowl.
