The second-year left winger has had a breakout season since being selected seventh overall by the Seattle Torrent in the 2025 PWHL Expansion Draft, scoring the Torrent's first goal in team history in the season-opening game against the Vancouver Goldeneyes on November 21 and recording eight points (4G, 4A) in nine regular-season games.
Seattle fans can cheer on Gosling and her fellow Torrent Olympians at the team's final home game before the Milano Cortina Games on January 20 (7:00 p.m. PT) at Climate Pledge Arena vs. the Toronto Sceptres. Tickets are available at thepwhl.com/Seattle-Torrent/tickets.
