The 24-year-old forward returns for a second PWHL season after appearing in all 30 games during her rookie campaign.
The Toronto Sceptres have re-signed forward Kiara Zanon to a two-year contract through the 2027-28 PWHL season, the team announced Tuesday.
Zanon, 24, was selected by Toronto in the second round of the 2025 PWHL Draft and made her professional debut last season, recording three points in 30 games.
The Fairport, New York, native made an immediate impression in her first PWHL appearance, scoring the game-winning goal against Minnesota on Nov. 21, 2025.
Before joining the Sceptres, Zanon spent five seasons in the NCAA, playing three years at Penn State before transferring to Ohio State for her final two seasons.
She finished her collegiate career with 191 points, including 75 goals and 116 assists, in 171 games. During her time at Penn State, she was twice named a top-10 finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, in 2021 and 2023.
Zanon also helped Ohio State capture the 2024 NCAA national championship.
Internationally, she represented the United States at two IIHF U18 Women's World Championships, earning silver in 2019 and gold in 2020.
With Zanon's signing, Toronto now has 15 players under contract for the 2026-27 season, including seven forwards.
