Cindy (Lebel) Tipping '08, a memberĀ of the inaugural women's ice hockey team at Saint Anselm, was inducted into the Hall of Fame on January 27, 2018. Lebel helped the squad post a dominant 88-15-2 overall record a cross a four-year career. A key member of the Saint Anselm defense, she helped the Hawks to post a combined 66-2 overall record when leading after one period. The combined defense during her tenure allowed just over 1.12 goals per game, regularly ranking among the nation's leaders in scoring defense.

Offensively, Lebel ranks 10th all-time with 90 career points, pouring home 11 career game-winning goals. Ranking fifth all-time in power-play goals (15), Lebel also contributed four shorthanded goals which stands as the second-most in a career. Despite playing as a defenseman, Lebel was the first of six Saint Anselm skaters to score four goals in a game, doing so versus Salve Regina on Feb. 21, 2006. She also posted a career-high 38 points in 2005-06, the sixth-most ever in a single campaign.

One of the most decorated women's ice hockey players to date, she remains the only First Team All-America selection in team history. Earning Second Team All-America honors in 2006-07 and 2007-08, Lebel also captured ECAC East Player of the Year plaudits in 2005-06 and was named All-ECAC in back-to-back season (2006-07, 2007-08).
