PWHL Seattle announced Tuesday the team has signed first-round draft pick Jenna Buglioni to a two-year contract.

Buglioni, 23, was the eighth overall pick in the 2025 PWHL Draft after helping lead Ohio State to a pair of national championships.

The Port Moody, B.C., native scored 166 points in 170 games over five seasons for the Buckeyes, including a career-best 20 goals and 51 points in 44 games last season while serving as a captain.

'I am so honored and grateful to sign with PWHL Seattle,' she said. 'Being able to begin my professional career around such elite athletes is a dream come true. Also, seeing how engaged Seattle fans are, I am excited to help bring PWHL hockey to the best fans in the West.'

Buglioni was the first of six draft picks for the expansion Seattle squad. The forward also earned a silver medal while playing for Canada at the 2020 IIHF U18 Women's World Championship.

'Jenna is a cerebral player who excels in every zone and simplifies the game,' Seattle general manager Meghan Turner said. 'She's solid on the faceoff dot, demonstrates patient puck support, and shows up in big moments. Her work ethic, positivity, and competitive attitude will have a big impact on our bench and in the locker room.'
