Molly Patricia Schaus (born July 29, 1988) is an American ice hockey goaltender. She is a member of the United States women's national ice hockey team. She was drafted 2nd overall by the Boston Blades in the 2011 CWHL Draft.
Schaus was born in Voorhees, New Jersey and shortly after moved to the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. There she learned to skate on the back yard pond with her brothers, Mike and Steve. At age 7 she and her family relocated to Naperville, Illinois and began her early years of formal hockey. During these years Molly played hockey for Team Illinois. She again relocated after her freshman year in high school (Benet Academy of Lisle, Illinois) to Natick, Massachusetts. Playing for both Deerfield Academy and Assabet Valley during her high school years, she was recruited to play hockey at Boston College. After completing her Olympic Team commitment, she has now returned to Boston College to finish her senior year. Her family now lives in Natick. She has two brothers, Steven and Michael, and is the daughter of David and Cathy Schaus.
Schaus learned to skate on a pond behind her childhood home in Minnesota, and she moved to hockey from figure skating to follow hockey-playing older brothers. The brothers also dictated her position in the goal. Then, "[w]atching Team USA take home the gold medal in 1998, during the first Olympic Games to include women’s hockey, Schaus became hooked on the sport, the team, and the players. Also she played on the 2005–06 Assabet Valley U19 girls' team ... Won five state championships, had two third-place finishes and a second-place finish at the USA Hockey Girls' National Championships ... Received two MVP awards in hockey at Deerfield ... Awarded William Jaffe Cup for sportsmanship and leadership at Deerfield .
She became friendly with Cammi Granato, the team’s captain, who lived in a neighboring town after Schaus and her family moved from Minnesota to the Chicago area. [Schaus] plays for another member of the 1998 squad, Katie King, the head women’s hockey coach at Boston College, and is a friend and teammate of Angela Ruggiero, who was on the US squad for the Vancouver Games too."
