Professional Women's Hockey League Roster Update

May 15, 2024 - Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) News Release


NEW YORK AND TORONTO - The Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) has announced a roster update ahead of tonight's PWHL Playoffs game between Toronto and Minnesota.

Toronto has placed forward Natalie Spooner on Long Term Injured Reserve. The 33-year-old from Scarborough, ON, suffered a knee injury during the third period of Game 3 and will be unavailable for the remainder of the season. Spooner led the PWHL with 20 goals and 27 points in 24 games during the regular-season and had one goal and one assist in three playoff games.

"It's a big loss for us, obviously Natalie has been an important part of our success all year," said Gina Kingsbury, PWHL Toronto General Manager. "We have no doubt Natalie will continue to have an impact on our team, just in a different way."

In a corresponding move, Toronto has activated Jess Jones from the team's Reserve Player list and signed the forward to a Standard Player Agreement. The 33-year-old from Picton, ON, has appeared in five games this season.
