Playing career
NCAA
The first point of her NCAA career came on October 29, 2011, when she assisted on the game-winning goal against the Clarkson Golden Knights. She redshirted her 2013–14 season with the Crimson to play in the 2014 Olympics under her Harvard head coach, Katey Stone. She returned for her junior 2014–15 season and was named team captain, leading the team to the 2015 national championship game where they lost to the Minnesota Golden Gophers. She was also captain in her senior 2015–16 season for the Crimson.
USA Hockey
She first made the U.S. women's national under-18 team for the 2010 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship where the team won the silver medal. The next year, Picard was named the team captain of the gold medal-winning U.S. U18 team in the 2011 Championship.[1] Later that year, she made her first appearance with the senior team at the 2011 4 Nations Cup.[2] She was a member of the United States women's national ice hockey team in five IIHF Women's World Championships from 2012 to 2019, as well as the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.[3]
NWHL
After leaving Harvard, Picard signed with the New York Riveters in 2016 for the second season of National Women's Hockey League.[4] She played three seasons with the team, later rebranded as the Metropolitan Riveters, and participated in the 3rd NWHL All-Star Game.[5]
She retired from playing in 2019 and joined the league as deputy commissioner and director of player development.[6] In 2021, she left the league to pursue other opportunities and was replaced by Lisa Haley as director of player development.[7]
