Gina Kingsbury (born November 26, 1981 in Uranium City, Saskatchewan) is a retired women's ice hockey player. She graduated from St. Lawrence University with a degree in psychology. She ranks second all-time in scoring among St. Lawrence Skating Saints women's ice hockey players.
Besides hockey, Kingsbury participated in field hockey and softball as a student at The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut. Kingsbury participated in the 1995 Canada Winter Games at the age of 13. She would compete in the Games again four years later. In 2004-05, she would play for the Montreal Axion with her Olympic teammate Charline Labonté.
She attended St. Lawrence University, where she graduated in 2004 with a degree in psychology, and was a key player on their hockey team, the Skating Saints. Kingsbury earned All-America honors at St. Lawrence in her senior season of 2004. In addition, she was a two-time All-Conference player at St. Lawrence and remains in the University's top-5 in career points (152) and goals (74). In 2003-04, her senior year, she finished seventh in NCAA scoring (26 goals and 31 assists in 33 games). Kingsbury also holds the school record for most points in a game with nine points (4 goals, 5 assists).
Kingsbury joined the national program in 1999, as a member of the Under-22 team. At the age of 19, she would join the senior team for the IIHF 2001 World Championship. She had two goals and two assists in the tournament, winning the gold medal. In the middle of the second period of the gold medal game, Canada had a 2-1 lead and Kingsbury started to shed tears because she knew the team was close to winning gold. Head coach Danielle Sauvageau told her to hold back but she says was excited to be part of a gold medal team.
The 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin was Kingsbury’s first Olympics. She played on Team Canada's "Kid Line" along with Meghan Agosta and Katie Weatherston. The members of the line were considered three of the most promising young prospects. Kingsbury finished the tournament with three assists, and winning her first Olympic gold.
