Early life
Rattray was born in Kanata, a suburb at the west end of Ottawa, Ontario to parents Melodie and David.[2] She is of Métis heritage on her mother's side.[3] Rattray began playing hockey at age four, inspired by watching Jayna Hefford score the gold medal-winning goal for Canada against the United States at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.[4]
Rattray attended Earl of March Secondary School in Kanata, where she was a three-time school athlete of the year.[5] She played for the Kanata Blazers before joining the Ottawa Lady Senators of the Provincial Women's Hockey League in 2006–07.[6] Over four seasons with the Lady Senators, Rattray recorded 111 points (64 goals, 47 assists) in 100 regular-season games and won a league championship in 2009. In her final junior season, 2009–10, she served as team captain and posted 31 goals and 57 points in 34 games.[5] Rattray's performances with the Lady Senators attracted interest from several top NCAA programs, including the University of Minnesota, University of Minnesota Duluth, St. Lawrence University, University of Wisconsin, Mercyhurst University, and Cornell University, ultimately committing to Clarkson University in 2010.[7]
Rattray competed at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships in Ottawa, Ontario in 2010.[8]

As a freshman in 2010–11, Rattray established herself as one of the team's top offensive players, earning ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Year and Clarkson University Female Rookie of the Year honours her first season.[9][7] She appeared in all 37 games and led Clarkson in scoring with 25 points, recording 7 goals and a team‑high 18 assists.[7] In 2011–12, her sophomore season, Rattray averaged over a point per game and led the Golden Knights with 19 goals while ranking second on the team with 38 points in 33 games.[7] She tallied six power‑play goals and four game‑winners, posted a +13 plus‑minus rating, and recorded her first career hat trick in a 10–0 win over Rensselaer, adding two goals and an assist the next night against Union to complete a six‑point weekend.[7] She started the season with a six‑game point streak, had 13 multi‑point games, and received the team’s Ron Frazer Award as a player who elevated her game in key situations.[7][10]

In her senior season, Rattray led the NCAA in scoring and was awarded the 2014 Patty Kazmaier Award as the top player in U.S. women's college hockey. She was the first player from Clarkson to win the award.[7] As assistant captain, she played a pivotal leadership role in Clarkson's run to its first NCAA women's hockey championship title in 2014, which was also the first NCAA team championship in Clarkson University history scoring key goals.
