Here’s the latest on the Ottawa Charge roster, based on recent reporting:
- The PWHL expansion and roster shakeups continue to shape Ottawa’s roster. A key focus for the Charge has been replenishing forwards and adding puck-moving defenders, with the team holding a high draft position to address multiple vacancies. This aligns with their stated plan to bolster the offense and power play for the next season.[1]
- The team has actively re-signed core players and added new signings to fill gaps, including confirmed contracts for players like Taylor House and other signings announced in late 2024 and 2025, which helped stabilize the forward group and defense ahead of training camps. These moves typically precede or coincide with training camp rosters and pre-season evaluations.[2][3][4]
- Training camps and roster updates continued into the 2025-26 season, with the Charge publicly outlining camp rosters and subsequent cuts as part of standard roster management in the PWHL, leaving Ottawa with a mix of veterans and new prospects competing for 2025-26 spots.[5][9]
Illustration of typical roster progress
- Training camp roster (29 players) announced to compete for spots.
- Several players signed to standard player agreements to fill key roles.
- Post-camp releases reduce the roster to the league maximum (often around 23 active players).
Notes
- Ottawa’s roster status can shift quickly due to the league’s expansion and free-agent moves, so current rosters are best confirmed via the team’s official announcements and league news releases.[1][2][5]
