==Playing career==
===Collegiate===
 
Botterill attended Harvard University from 1998-2003 where she played hockey from 1998 to 2003. She holds the NCAA career scoring record (149 goals, 170 assists, 319 points). Botterill's 1st year at Harvard was not played in NCAA, but in an alternate league, so her record is not official. Despite this, she is the leading scorer in Harvard University history. She scored at least one point in 106 of her 107 career NCAA games (including a streak of 80 consecutive games). She was the first player to win the Patty Kazmaier Award twice as the top player in NCAA women's hockey.
===CWHL===
Currently, Botterill plays for the Mississauga Chiefs of the Canadian Women's Hockey League. In 2007-08, she won the Angela James Bowl after winning the league scoring title with 61 points.http://www.29sports.com/29/london/player.html She was voted the CWHL Top Forward and a CWHL Central All-Star; she won CWHL Top Scorer of the Month honours in February.
