PWHL Vancouver Signs Ottawa Charge Top Scorer Tereza Vanišová

PWHL Vancouver has significantly bolstered its roster by signing top free agents Tereza Vanisová and Hannah Miller, aiming to build a championship-caliber team for the 2025-26 season. Vanisová, who led the Ottawa Charge with 22 points and tied for second in league goals, brings elite skating, offensive skill, and physical intensity, having led the league in penalty minutes as well. Miller, a versatile forward from North Vancouver, ranked as the top free agent, adds two-way value and power-play effectiveness, reuniting with former Toronto teammate Sarah Nurse on Vancouver's roster. Vancouver's general manager Cara Gardner Morey focused on assembling strong offensive talent alongside puck-moving defenders like Ashton Bell, Sophie Jaques, and Claire Thompson. Vanisová’s departure marks a loss for Ottawa, which has seen consecutive seasons lose its top goal scorer to free agency, but Vancouver’s aggressive acquisitions position it as a formidable contender in the expanding league. The signings highlight Vancouver's strategy of combining top-tier forwards and defenders to create a well-rounded, competitive squad.
