Here are all 26 players named to the Vancouver Goldeneyes' inaugural season roster.
The wait is officially over — the Vancouver Goldeneyes have released their roster for the 2025–26 PWHL season. Two players, Katie Chan and Kimberly Newell, have been signed to Standard Player Agreements, while Brianna Brooks, Darcie Lappan, and Malia Schneider have agreed on Reserve Player agreements. Lappan will begin the season as part of the roster in place of Nina Jobst-Smith, who is currently dealing with an injury. Also listed on the roster is newcomer Anna Segedi, who was traded to Vancouver yesterday in exchange for Denisa Křížová, who returns to the two-time Walter Cup champion Minnesota frost.
“We had a very competitive training camp with a high calibre group of players,” said Goldeneyes General Manager Cara Gardner Morey. “Our roster for the 2025-26 season is fast, physical and skilled, with a solid defensive foundation and an exciting forward corps. We can’t wait to introduce this group to Vancouver when they take to the ice for our first game tomorrow at the Pacific Coliseum.”
Vancouver’s additions extend outside of the team’s roster as well, as the Goldeneyes have parted ways with assistant coach Brendon Knight and are welcoming Myles Fitzgerald to the coaching staff. Fitzgerald’s résumé includes time with China’s international teams as well as the University of British Columbia.
