Maggie Connors is heading west, as the PWHL San Jose expansion club signed the forward to a two-year contract extending through the 2027/28 season.
Connors becomes the seventh player San Jose has locked in as the team builds toward its debut at the SAP Center this fall. The news also continues a busy stretch for the new addition while the PWHL expansion team distribution process picks up steam.
PWHL News Reunites Maggie Connors with Troy Ryan
The 25-year-old spent the last three PWHL seasons with the Toronto Sceptres, where she carved out a role as a dependable top-six forward. In 84 career regular-season games, she never missed a single match.
She recorded 13 points with Toronto, but her value runs deeper than the scoresheet. Connors is at her best in the defensive zone.
The move also brings a familiar face back into the picture. She will reunite with incoming PWHL San Jose GM and head coach Troy Ryan, who coached her throughout her entire professional career in Toronto.
Connors joins a growing San Jose core that already includes goalie Corinne Schroeder and forward Kristin O'Neill.
