After a year away from the sport competing for USA's national field hockey team, the New York Sirens have signed 2025 17th overall pick Makenna Webster to a three-year contract.
The New York Sirens added from a unique spot this summer signing forward Makenna Webster to a three-year contract. Webster was New York's pick, 17th overall in the 2025 PWHL Draft, before deciding to take a year away from ice hockey to play for USA's National Field Hockey team.
"Makenna is a player we’ve believed in from the day we drafted her," said Sirens General Manager Pascal Daoust.
"Her commitment to excellence, whether representing the United States in field hockey or now joining our team, speaks to the person and competitor she is. Her character, work ethic and mindset fit the culture we are building in New York. Her three-year commitment is a strong statement of her belief in our vision and her desire to be part of what we are building."
Prior to being selected in the 2025 PWHL Draft, Webster scored 166 points in 151 NCAA games with the Wisconsin Badgers and Ohio State Buckeyes.
She won national titles with Wisconsin in 2021 and Ohio State in 2024 earning tournament MVP and All-Star honors.
She also represented USA at the U-18 World Championships winning gold in 2018 and 2020, and silver in 2019.
"I’m incredibly grateful to have been drafted by New York and to officially begin this next chapter with the Sirens organization," said Webster.
"After spending the past season focused on field hockey and representing Team USA, I’m excited to get back on the ice and can’t wait to get started with such an amazing team."
Webster represented USA's national field hockey team at the 3 Nations Tournament in New Zealand this winter and was an All-American in 2025 with Ohio State.
She joins a growing group of Ohio State alumni playing for the New York Sirens which now includes Emma Peschel, Paeytn Levis, Lauren Bernard, and Clair DeGeorge.
