Allie Munroe becomes the fourth member of the Connecticut Whale to lock in a six figure contract for next season.
For the fourth time this offseason, the PHF's Connecticut Whale have announced a six figure signing. This time, it's another re-negotiation for Allie Munroe who will now make $105,000 for the second season of her two-year contract with the team.
“Allie is an anchor on the blue line for us,” Whale GM Alexis Moed said in a press release.
“Her steady and consistent play has established her as a top defender for our club and within the league. She had great success this past season contributing from the blue line which earned her top billing amongst league defensive players in point production. She continues to grow as a leader and adapt her game to rise to the level of play.”
Earlier this offseason the Whale announced the signing of Kacey Bellamy for $133,000, Kennedy Marchment for $130,000, and Taylor Girard for $110,000. The four players represent 31.9% of the team's $1.5 million salary cap.
Munroe, 26, is entering her fifth season of professional hockey. After graduating from Syracuse where she served as captain in her senior season, Munroe spent two seasons overseas with Djurgardens in Sweden before signing with the Whale last season. Last year, the Defener of the Year nominee scored 16 points in 24 games.
“I’m so excited to be back with the Whale for another season,” Munroe said. “The support from the fans and ISCC has been incredible. Last season didn’t end the way we wanted but I am grateful to have another opportunity to compete for the Isobel cup and hopefully bring it to Connecticut in Season 9!”
