Susanna Tapani remains a key player for the Boston Fleet, signing a two-year deal to continue her impressive career. This decision is crucial for Boston after losing top-line center Alina Muller to Hamilton.
Tapani, a four-time Olympian and two-time bronze medalist for Finland, ranked second on the Fleet last season with nine goals and fifth with 18 points. Her experience will be invaluable as the Fleet look to build on their performance.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Torrent re-signs Julia Gosling, who debuted for Canada at the Olympics and tied for her team’s lead with 20 points last season. Gosling also signs a two-year contract, solidifying her spot as a key player in the expansion process.
The Montreal Victoire bolsters their defense by re-signing three-time Walter Cup champion Maggie Flaherty. She scored three goals and added an assist during the playoffs and had a career-best five goals in the regular season.
As Phase 3 of the PWHL expansion unfolds, the eight existing teams can protect six players, while the four expansion teams can sign three players. Las Vegas adds Seattle’s Megan Carter, who had a solid rookie season, and Detroit secures Sydney Bard, the first player lost from Vancouver.
