You could hear the sigh of relief Friday in her hometown of St. Thomas.
Lexie Adzija had been offered a one-year contract extension by the Boston franchise in the Professional Women’s Hockey League.
At the end of the league’s premier season, the 23-year-old Adzija had become a free agent.
In a roster update from Boston, General Manager Danielle Marmer enthused, “We’re not only excited about what she brings on the ice, but off the ice she has the most contagious energy. She has a special way of interacting with the fans that means a lot to our community and the city of Boston.”
In the inaugural PWHL draft this past winter, she was selected by Ottawa in the 11th round.
She was traded to Boston on March 18 and finished the season with six goals and five assists in 24 games.
Adzija graduated from Quinnipiac University where she spent five seasons as a member of the Bobcats, serving as co-captain during the 2022-23 season.
Additionally, she won bronze with Canada’s U-18 Women’s National team in 2018.
As per the Players Association, salary terms of contracts will not be disclosed.
