context_page_description: Natalie Marie Spooner is a Canadian ice hockey player for the now defunct Toronto Furies, who played for the Canadian National women's ice hockey team from 2007 to 2008, and rejoined the program in 2010.
  Spooner was the first player to play for the Canadian National Women's Team, the National Women's Under-22 Team and its Under-18 Team.
  In 2014, Spooner became the first woman in hockey history to claim the gold medal in the Olympic Winter Games and the Clarkson Cup in the same year. A fast and passionate hockey player, Spooner now has a High Performance Hockey Academy for girls.
context_section_description: Selected by the Furies in the second round of the 2012 CWHL Draft, Spooner would set a franchise record for most goals by a rookie. She also finished second in team scoring, trailing scoring leader Rebecca Johnston.
  Making her CWHL debut on October 20, 2012 in a road game at Brampton, Spooner scored a hat trick and assist, resulting in a four-point performance. As the Furies prevailed by a 4–3 count, Spooner factored into every one of the team's goals. Spooner's first point in the game was an assist to Mallory Deluce at the 7:18 mark of the first. Before the period would expire, Spooner scored an unassisted shorthanded goal for the first in her CWHL career. In the second period, Spooner would score short handed again, as Deluce reciprocated with an assist. Spooner would provide the overtime heroics, logging the game-winning goal at the 1:26 mark of the extra frame, as Deluce gained her second assist of the night. For her efforts, Spooner was recognized as the First Star of the Game.
  Spooner would also register a pair of three-point performances in her rookie season with the Furies. Against Team Alberta, Spooner had a goal and an assist in a 5–0 shutout win. A 7–4 road win at Brampton on January 12, 2013 resulted in Spooner's other three-point performance.
  During the 2014 Clarkson Cup playoffs, Spooner was the Furies leading scorer. She would score the game-winning goal in a March 21, 2014 playoff match against the Montreal Stars, eliminating them from the postseason. In the championship game against the Boston Blades, Spooner would log an assist on the Cup-clinching goal.
  Spooner would become the first player in Furies history to reach the plateau of 90 career points, achieving the feat during the 2016–17 CWHL season. In addition, she surpassed Kori Cheverie as the all-time leading scorer in Furies history. Spooner was one of two captains for Team Blue in the 3rd CWHL All-Star Game, the first time that one team in the CWHL All-Star Game had two captains.
