Breanne Wilson-Bennett is headed back to Toronto next season after re-signing a one-year contract with the Isobel Cup champion Six.
“For me, it was a no-brainer. I love playing in Toronto, I love being at home and playing in-front of my friends and family all the time," said Wilson-Bennett in a team news release. "It’s just a great situation for me, and obviously we were a winning team last season.”
Serving as an assistant captain last season, Wilson-Bennett recorded 12 points in 24 games in her third season with the Six.
“Breanne is a dynamic hockey player and a dynamic person, and I really believe she is the ultimate team player,” said Angela James, general manager of the Toronto Six. “Just her tenacity and her ability to compete at this level is infectious. She is definitely a key piece of the puzzle to our new team.”
As much as the 27-year-old is happy to be back in her home town, she's also eyeing and championship run with the Six.
“I think the goal remains the same. We want to be a winning program and we want to win the cup again,” said Wilson-Bennett. “Obviously, every other team has those same goals, but we’ve done it, we know what it takes, and I’m excited to put the work in again and do whatever it takes to bring it home again.”
Wilson-Bennett was the tenth player signed by the Toronto Six this offseason.
