A lot of signings have come down the pipe this week in the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), and two big deals have been made with former Bulldogs.

2023 Hockey Humanitarian Award winner Gabbie Hughes has officially signed a three year contract with Ottawa. She was a fourth round pick in this year’s inaugural PWHL draft. In five seasons with the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) women’s hockey team the forward racked up 214 points.

Additionally, goaltender Emma Soderberg has signed a two year contract with Boston. She went 58th overall in the PWHL draft.
