At the club level across three leagues, she scored 439 goals in 418 competitive games including a CWHL record 44 goals in 2008–09.
She was selected to be inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame on June 26, 2018.[2] On July 19, 2018, Hefford was named interim commissioner of the Canadian Women's Hockey League.[3] She was named a 2019 Order of Hockey in Canada recipient.
