Fox was part of an initiative to start the CWHL. The league was spearheaded by players such as Lisa-Marie Breton, Kathleen Kauth, Kim McCullough, along with national team members Sami Jo Small and Jennifer Botterill. The players worked with a group of volunteer business people to form the CWHL by following the example of the National Lacrosse League. The league would be responsible for all travel, ice rental and uniform costs, plus some equipment.[3] In 2006, she participated for Team Ontario at the Esso Women's Nationals.[4] During the 2008-09 CWHL season, Fox was a member of the CWHL Board of Directors as Secretary and Player Director. [5] When the CWHL contracted in the summer of 2010, Fox was not protected by the Thunder and entered the 2010 CWHL Draft. The Thunder re-acquired Fox with the thirty-eighth overall selection. [6]
