Playing careerFigueroa was originally a defenseman.[2] She first played hockey when she was a 9-year-old.[3][4] She got into the sport because a bunch of her brother's friends from school were playing.[5] Before every game, she tapes her own stick. She believes doing so increases her puck control.[3] YouthShe played youth hockey for a number of clubs including Bridgewater Bears, Princeton Tiger Lilies, New Jersey Colonials and Connecticut Polar Bears and The Lawrenceville School.[6] Playing for Lawrenceville, she was named an all state player three times.[4] As a youth player, she sometimes played on all girls teams and mixed gender teams at the same time.[5] CollegiateFigueroa attended college at Princeton University, where she played for the women's ice hockey team.[2][7] Her senior season in 2013-2014 finished with 13 points on 12 assists and a goal.[6] After finishing her career at Princeton, she initially believed her playing days were over because of the lack of opportunities for women to play after college.[3] NWHLOn August 15, 2015, Figueroa joined the New York Riveters for the inaugural 2015/16 NWHL season.[8][2][7][3][9][10] Because of salary cap restraints, most players needed to work other jobs including Figueroa who made the league minimum of $10,000. As a result, she only trained with the team two times a week with games played on Sunday.[2][7][3] When not training, she worked as a project engineer for Gilbane Building Company.[2][3] That season, she played in all 18 regular season games for the team, along with making post-season appearances.[11] She also played in the first game ever played in the league when the Riveters took on the Connecticut Whales.[12] She also scored the team's first ever goal.[13] In 2016, she participated in the NWHL Free Agent Camp, watched by general managers from several teams in the league. She was one of only three defenders playing for her team in a scrimmage match.[14][15] In September 2016, it was announced that Figueroa would join the practice squad for the New York Riveters in their 2016/17 season.[16][11] Playing for the Riveters in 2017, injuries to other players meant she sometimes was playing as a forward. By mid-season, she had scored three times for her team.[17] National teamShe played for the United States women's u-18 national ice hockey team.[3] With the team for the 2010 IIHF U-18 World Championship, she won a silver medal.[6][4] CoachingIn 2016, she was involved with running a USA Hockey ADM clinic.[4] PersonalOriginally from Branchburg, New Jersey,[7] Figueroa attended college at Princeton University. Figueroa graduated from Princeton in 2014 with a degree in structural engineering.[2][7][3] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.eurosport.com/ice-hockey/gabie-figueroa_prs380524/person.shtml|title=Gabie Figueroa - Player Profile - Ice Hockey|work=Eurosport|access-date=2017-08-13}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news|url=https://www.si.com/nhl/2016/06/05/gabie-figueroa-nwhl-riveters-office-job-kingsbridge-armory|title=For Riveters’ Gabie Figueroa, hockey is more than a game|last1=Desai|first1=Priya|date=June 5, 2016|accessdate=June 19, 2017|publisher=Sports Illustrated}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{Cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2549453/nwhl-new-york-riveters-inaugural-season/|title=What It's Like To Be One Of The First Pro Female Hockey Players In The U.S.|work=MTV News|access-date=2017-08-13|language=en}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news|url=http://highschoolsports.nj.com/news/article/-3032963356588996358/ice-hockey-new-jersey-devils-usa-hockey-host-first-girls-hockey-adm-clinic-in-newark/|title=Ice Hockey: New Jersey Devils, USA Hockey host first Girls Youth Hockey ADM clinic in Newark|work=NJ.com|access-date=2017-08-13|language=en-US}} 5. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.fordhamobserver.com/feminism-scores-a-hat-trick-with-womens-hockey-league/|title=Feminism Scores a Hat Trick with Women’s Hockey League {{!}} Fordham Observer|last=editor|website=www.fordhamobserver.com|language=en-US|access-date=2017-08-13}} 6. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://www.centraljersey.com/sports/the_princeton_packet/princeton-figueroa-s-passion-is-following-her-to-work/article_758f3e02-4cdc-11e5-8605-87c1981964b9.html|title=PRINCETON: Figueroa’s passion is following her to work|last=Editor|first=Justin Feil, Assistant Sports|work=CentralJersey.com|access-date=2017-08-13|language=en}} 7. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/21/sports/hockey/for-players-in-a-new-womens-league-a-rink-isnt-the-only-office.html?_r=0|title=For Players in a New Women’s League, a Rink Isn’t the Only Office|last1=Kreda|first1=Allan|date=February 20, 2016|accessdate=June 19, 2017|publisher=The New York Times}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Lighthouse Hockey|title=Riveters sign defenseman Gabie Figueroa|url=https://www.lighthousehockey.com/2015/8/15/9160095/riveters-sign-defenseman-gabie-figueroa|accessdate=June 19, 2017|publisher=SB Nation|date=August 15, 2015}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/nwhl-three-stars--pride-put-up-7-goals-on-riveters--power-play-big-for-whale-053608826.html|title=NWHL Three Stars: Pride put up 7 goals on Riveters; Power play big for Whale|access-date=2017-08-13|language=en-US}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=http://otherhalfsports.com/2015/10/the-riveters-lack-of-puck-luck-saves-the-whale-3-1/|title=The Riveters’ Lack of Puck Luck Saves the Whale, 3-1|access-date=2017-08-13|language=en-US}} 11. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.excellesports.com/news/nwhl-new-york-riveters-sign-five-practice-players/|title=NWHL: New York Riveters sign five practice players - Excelle Sports|date=2016-09-03|work=Excelle Sports|access-date=2017-08-13|language=en-US}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=http://sportzedge.com/2015/10/16/connecticut-whale-beat-new-york-riveters-in-first-ever-nwhl-game/|title=Connecticut Whale beat New York Riveters in first-ever NWHL game|last=Pendrys|first=David F.|date=2015-10-16|website=SportzEdge|access-date=2017-08-13}} 13. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/blog/2015/11/20/boston-pride-home-opener/|title=Everything You Need to Know About the Boston Pride's Home Opener|work=Boston Magazine|access-date=2017-08-13|language=en-US}} 14. ^{{Cite web|url=https://victorypress.org/2016/06/14/nwhl-free-agent-camp-notebook/|title=NWHL Free Agent Camp Notebook|date=2016-06-14|website=The Victory Press|access-date=2017-08-13}} 15. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.mywsports.com/single-post/2016/06/14/The-NWHL-Takes-to-Newark-Again|title=MyWSports {{!}} Growing The Games Together|website=MyWSports {{!}} Growing The Games Together|access-date=2017-08-13}} 16. ^{{cite news|last1=Nelson|first1=Dustin L.|title=New York Riveters Announce Practice Squad Players|url=http://thehockeywriters.com/new-york-riveters-practice-players-nwhl/|accessdate=June 19, 2017|publisher=The Hockey Writers|date=September 3, 2016}} 17. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.fanragsports.com/womens/riveters-hope-wash-will-spark-third-line/|title=Riveters Hope New Signing Lauren Wash Will Spark Third Line|website=www.fanragsports.com|language=en-US|access-date=2017-08-13}} External links
