Maggie Connors is staying put after the 24-year-old Newfoundland product signed a one-year contract extension with the PWHL's Toronto Sceptres.
“We are excited to re-sign Maggie Connors,” said General Manager Gina Kingsbury. “With her skill set, her potential and the fact she has been in our environment for the past two seasons, we believe Maggie will have a great season ahead. Maggie loves playing in Toronto and we love how well she fits in our market.”
Last season Connors had two goals in 30 games playing limited minutes on Toronto's fourth line. The Princeton alumni was seen as a prime candidate to see an offensive uptick in the post expansion era.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be back and re-sign with Toronto. From day one, this city has truly felt like home — the fans, the community, and the entire organization have made it such a special place to play,” said Connors. “We’ve built something really strong here over the past two seasons, and I’m excited to continue the chase of bringing a Walter Cup to Toronto. Season 3 can’t come soon enough!”
Toronto this week already re-signed Jesse Compher, Natalie Spooner, and Kali Flanagan, and brought in Elaine Chuli and Claire Dalton as free agents from Montreal.
