Boston Fleet Sweeps Opponents in Thrilling Final Game!
The top-ranked Boston Fleet have acquired forward Jessie Eldridge from the Seattle Torrent in exchange for forward Theresa Schafzal in a trade announced by the Professional Women’s Hockey League on Monday night. Eldridge played her first two seasons for the New York Sirens before being selected by Seattle in the third-round of the league’s first-ever expansion draft. The 28-year-old has been one of the top scoring forwards in the PWHL, with 51 points in 73 career games, which ranks eighth all-time.
“Jessie has been a proven goal scorer at every level and continues to produce throughout her time in the PWHL,” said Boston Fleet general manager Danielle Marmer in a press release. “She has a high hockey IQ and is a dual threat, capable of making key plays and creating scoring opportunities. We’re excited about the offensive instincts and competitiveness she brings to our lineup.
” Schafzahl, 25, has spent her entire PWHL career in Boston and has tallied 17 points in 69 games, including six points in 19 games this season, which matches her career-high from the inaugural PWHL season in 2024. “Theresa is a veteran forward who is steady and reliable in all areas of the ice and all situations. She lifts her teammates up with simple, gritty plays and we’re very excited to have her join us in Seattle,” said Seattle GM Meghan Turner.
“This trade was about what we believe is the best fit for our team and the identity we’re trying to build. The PWHL trade deadline is March 30. This story will be updated.
