Adzija brings elite skill, leadership, and social influence to the league’s newest expansion team
Seattle’s newly announced Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) team made a major move Tuesday by signing forward Lexie Adzija to a two-year deal. The 24-year-old arrives from Boston’s PWHL team, the Fleet, following a trade from Ottawa. With 53 PWHL games under her belt and a rising profile off the ice, Adzija represents the future of women’s hockey—skilled, dynamic, and marketable.
“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 me,” Adzija said in a statement.
Adzija tallied 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in regular-season play and brings strong leadership experience from her time at Quinnipiac University, where she was assistant captain in 2021 and team captain in 2022. Her relentless work ethic, competitive drive, and high hockey IQ make her a key addition as Seattle looks to establish its identity in the expanding PWHL landscape.
