Amanda MacCarthy

Amanda’s athletic journey began with rugby, where she excelled in both high school and university, earning recognition as an Ontario All-Star. After graduation, she made the transition from the rugby pitch to the ice track, joining Canada’s National Bobsled Team. Sprinting on ice proved to be quite different from sprinting on grass, so in 2024 Amanda relocated from Ottawa to Calgary to train with the national program. Beyond sport, Amanda is a dedicated environmentalist, focusing on the protection, conservation, and restoration of ecosystems across Canada.
