The Ottawa Charge and Vancouver Goldeneyes have completed a six players tade.
The Ottawa Charge and Vancouver Goldeneyes completed a trade Sunday involving six players with each team acquiring three players in the deal. The Charge acquired forwards Michela Cava and Brooke McQuigge along with defender Emma Greco from the Goldeneyes in exchange for forwards Mannon McMahon, Anna Meixner and Anna Shokhina. The Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) trade deadline is March 30.
“Michela Cava is a proven winner as part of the Minnesota Frost for the last two seasons,” said Charge General Manager Mike Hirshfeld. “She will bring goal scoring ability to our organization. We got to know her game extremely well from the PWHL Walter Cup Finals last season and we’re looking forward to adding her grit and compete to our group.” “Emma Greco is an experienced defender who will bring defensive stability and toughness to our blue line,” added Hirshfeld.
“Like the other two players in this trade, she has championship experience from her first season in the PWHL, and we are excited to add that to our locker room.”
“As for Brooke McQuigge, she is a versatile player who can play both wing and center,” said Hirshfeld. “She had a strong rookie season, helping her team win the Walter Cup. She has strong offensive abilities scoring eight goals last season. She originates from the Ottawa area and we are excited to have another local player in our organization. Her sister, Rachel, played goaltender for the Charge in our inaugural season.”
