Sarah Fillier Becomes Highest-Paid PWHL Player

Sarah Fillier, the reigning PWHL Rookie of the Year and 2024 No. 1 overall draft pick, has signed a two-year contract extension with the New York Sirens, making her the highest-paid player in the Professional Women's Hockey League. Last season, Fillier tied for the league lead in points with 29 (13 goals, 16 assists), set a league record for assists, led in power-play goals, and earned both All-Rookie and First Team All-Star honors. Sirens general manager Pascal Daoust called the signing a milestone for the organization and praised Fillier's talent and leadership. Internationally, Fillier has won gold with Team Canada at the 2022 Winter Olympics and three IIHF World Championships, including being named MVP in 2023. At Princeton, she recorded 194 points in 120 games and was a two-time Patty Kazmaier Award finalist. The new contract helps strengthen the Sirens' foundation ahead of the next PWHL season.
