The signings were completed during Phase 5 of the PWHL’s expansion process that allows teams an exclusive window to re-sign their own players on expiring contracts.

Serving as a backup to league MVP Aerin Frankel, Thiele, 24, started just one game last season, recording 21 saves in a 4-2 win over the Minnesota Frost on March 29 that secured a postseason berth for the Fleet.
The moves followed Thursday’s re-signings of forwards Jill Saulnier and Sophie Shirley.
Saulnier, 34, posted a career-high six points (two goals, four assists) in 25 regular-season games and appeared in all four playoff games in her first full season with the Fleet. Th two-time Canadian Olympian was acquired in a trade with the New York Sirens in exchange for forward Taylor Girard on Jan. 21, 2025.
Shirley, 26, had three goals and six assists while appearing in 22 games in the regular season, including a pair of goals in the win over the Frost to help Thiele secure her first win. Shirley added a goal in the playoffs and has played 70 games in three seasons with the Fleet since being selected in the 11th round of the inaugural draft.
