Megan Carter, Toronto's second round pick in the 2025 Draft is set to make her season debut with the Sceptres after missing the opening months of the season with injury.

The Toronto Sceptres announced this morning that they are activating blueliner Megan Carter off of LTIR.

Carter, who was drafted by the Sceptres in the second round of the 2024 draft will make her debut at Scotiabank Arena after being sidelined with a lower body injury.

“I’ve been looking forward to playing professional hockey in the PWHL since the league’s inaugural season and now that the day is here, I couldn’t be more excited,” said Carter. “I’ve felt so much love and support from everyone around me throughout this process and I’m grateful to my teammates for making the transition back to being on the ice with the team so smooth. I hope to add to our team’s physical presence, poise, and compete level.” 

The 23-year-old played five seasons with the Northeastern University Huskies, appearing in 165 games scoring 86 points, ultimately becoming team captain during her fifth and final season.

“We are excited to have Megan active in our lineup,” says Gina Kingsbury, Sceptres General Manager. “She has put in a tremendous amount of work to get to this point and we look forward to her impact on our D core. Megan is a very reliable defender that brings physicality and a great ability to move the puck."

In a corresponding roster move, forward Anneke Rankila has been released from her Standard Player Agreement and moved to the Sceptres’ Reserve Player list.
