Charge and PWHL Expansion Goldeneyes Shake up Rosters with League-Record 6-Player Trade
The trade, a PWHL record with six players, aims to boost Vancouver’s scoring and strengthen Ottawa’s championship-contending lineup, league sources said.
- On Sunday night, the Ottawa Charge and the PWHL expansion Vancouver Goldeneyes completed a six-player trade that set a PWHL record and closed 10 days before the monthlong Olympic break.
- With both teams under pressure in the standings, management pursued roster moves as Vancouver ranks near the bottom with a league-low 1.7 goals and Ottawa lost 2-1 to Montreal on Tuesday.
- Several players involved bring varied NHL-level and international experience, with mixed early-season production as Ottawa added Michela Cava, tied for third in Vancouver with five points, while Vancouver acquired Anna Shokhina, Mannon McMahon and Anna Meixner.
- Ottawa bolstered experience by adding multiple Walter Cup winners from Minnesota Frost, and Charge general manager Mike Hirshfeld said `Michela Cava is a proven winner`.
- Teams described the swap as a bid for grit and speed to improve competitiveness, with Vancouver GM Cara Gardner Morey saying Mannon McMahon and Anna Meixner will impact both ends of the ice.
