OTTAWA — The Ottawa Charge have a revitalized roster, a new identity and a redefined mentality heading into the Professional Women's Hockey League's second season.
“We're all aligned on the way we want to play and where we can get better from last year,” Ottawa general manager Mike Hirschfeld said. “Compete level, toughness, physicality, attention to details, particularly in our defensive zone, those are areas we wanted to improve on, and our draft and our free agency class was focused on those attributes.”
Ottawa found another perfect match in Finnish defender Ronja Savolainen at eighth overall. The five-foot-10 blueliner had 29 points in 35 games for Swedish Women’s Hockey League champions Lulea HF last season. Philips broke records during her time with the Northeastern Huskies in the NCAA. She set new single-season program records in 2022-23 with 34 wins, 38 games played and 2,272 minutes. Most impressive is her NCAA-record career save percentage of .958 over five seasons with the Huskies.
