"I am inspired by the players of the Pride who have put a great emphasis on promoting women's hockey through their great play in the NWHL and their work with youth at skills clinics, off-ice programs and Q&A sessions," said Renn. "I want to be part of all of that, too. The NWHL and the Pride provides a platform for me to inspire a younger generation of players - something I will not take for granted. I am humbled to be signing with a team that is committed to advancing women's hockey across all levels."

Regarding her goals for hockey, Renn said, "This season I will continue to work on each phase of my game, learn from my teammates, grow as a player, and get better in order to help the team however I can. I am looking forward to being surrounded by great players and a coaching staff who are backed by a league whose mission I support."
