Sarah Nurse Joins PWHL Vancouver in Landmark Signing
Today I want to talk about something incredibly exciting for women’s hockey fans—Sarah Nurse is officially heading to the West Coast! The superstar forward has signed a one-year contract with PWHL Vancouver, making her the fourth player to join the team ahead of its debut season in the Professional Women’s Hockey League. This move is a major step not just for the team, but for the growth of the sport in British Columbia and across Canada.
Sarah Nurse is more than just a great player—she’s a force in women’s hockey. After spending two seasons lighting it up with the Toronto Sceptres, she’s bringing her dynamic skills and leadership to Vancouver. Her track record speaks for itself: Nurse has racked up 37 points in 45 PWHL games, with a 0.82 points-per-game average—fifth best in the league. Last season alone, she scored 14 points in 21 games and was previously named a Second Team All-Star in the league's inaugural year.

But what’s truly special about this move is what Sarah represents. General Manager Cara Gardner Morey put it perfectly—Nurse is a cornerstone not just on the ice, but in the community. Her commitment to making hockey more inclusive and welcoming has made her a role model for the next generation of players and fans alike.
For Vancouver fans, this signing is massive. Last year, Sarah got a taste of the city’s passion during the sold-out Vancouver Takeover Tour, and now she’s ready to embrace that energy full time. In her own words, she’s “honoured” to bring professional women’s hockey to the West Coast and can’t wait for puck drop.
Nurse joins Canadian National Team stars Emerance Maschmeyer, Sophie Jaques, and Claire Thompson, making Vancouver’s inaugural roster already look like a contender. With just a few days left in the exclusive signing window before the June 9 Expansion Draft, the team is building something truly special.
It’s an exciting time for the PWHL, and Sarah Nurse’s move to Vancouver is a headline moment. Her talent, leadership, and impact are exactly what the league—and the city—needs. If you’re not already following the PWHL, now’s the time to get on board. The future of women’s hockey is unfolding right in front of us, and Sarah Nurse is leading the charge.
