Bio

Rachelle Malette joined the Lancer coaching staff under Head Coach Jo Anne Robinson in April 2024. Malette’s 20 years of playing experience includes an impressive post-secondary resume at both Trent University and with the Lancers, where she was an OCAA League All-Star, team captain, and Bronze medalist.  Malette also spent time abroad playing in the UK for two years, gaining invaluable international exposure, skill, and experience.

After starting her coaching journey in 2014 with youth rugby, Malette has made significant contributions to teams within the Bulldogs organization through her competitive, athlete-first style of coaching. “I believe that a coach's job is to facilitate an environment that correlates with the collective goal of the team. A coach that is able to establish that connection early-on with their team, then consistently work to balance high performance standards with fun, respect, and learning is a coach that will keep their athletes motivated to excel.”
