The Ottawa Charge have signed the first of their 2025 PWHL Draft selections, agreeing to a one-year Standard Player Agreement with forward Sarah Wozniewicz.
“Sarah fits exactly the mold of our team’s style of play. She’s a strong skater and a physical player,” said Charge General Manager Mike Hirshfeld. “We also know her as a person because our Head Coach Carla MacLeod coached her in high school. That was an important factor for us when we drafted her. We knew who the person was.”
Wozniewicz, a native of Cochrane, Alberta was selected in the third round, 21st overall, following a standout collegiate career with the University of Wisconsin.
“I’m super excited to join a team with such a passionate fan base. Signing a PWHL contract is a dream come true,” said Wozniewicz. “I’m looking forward to bringing my speed and aggressiveness to the forecheck. I’m a hard-working player who never gives up on the puck. I think Ottawa is a good fit for me and I’m happy to play for Carla MacLeod again. She’s been a great coach for me in the past.”
