St. Thomas native Lexie Adzija is heading to the west coast, after signing a two-year contract with PWHL Seattle that will keep her with the team through the 2026-27 season.
The 24-year-old forward spent last season with the Boston Fleet after being acquired in a mid-season trade from Ottawa in 2024.
Adzija was originally drafted 65th overall by the Charge in the league’s inaugural 2023-24 draft and has since racked up 17 points (8 goals, 9 assists) across 53 regular-season games, including a playoff goal with Boston.
“Lexie plays with grit and a relentless work ethic, whether it’s on the ice or in the weight room,” said PWHL Seattle General Manager Meghan Turner. “She brings energy to every shift and is the kind of player who leads by example. She’s also fantastic with fans and will be a strong ambassador for our team in the community.”
A graduate of Quinnipiac University and former co-captain of the Bobcats, Adzija also won bronze with Canada’s U18 Women’s National Team in 2018.
“I’m incredibly excited and grateful to be joining PWHL Seattle and to be part of building something special in a city that was so eager to have us,” said Adzija. “Playing in front of the Seattle fans during the neutral site game was unforgettable — the energy and support were amazing. I can’t wait to represent this city, bring my grit on the ice, and show up with some game day style alongside an incredible group of players.”
Adzija joins defender Mariah Keopple as Seattle’s latest acquisition following the Expansion Draft.
