The Ottawa Charge signed goaltender and playoff heroine Gwyneth Philips to a two-year contract extension.
The deal announced Sunday keeps the 24-year-old Ohio native in the Canadian capital through 2027-28.
Philips went 8-5-1 with two shutouts, a 2.11 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage as a rookie in 2024-25. She was a finalist for PWHL Rookie of the Year and Goaltender of the Year honors.
In the postseason, the third-round pick from Northeastern went 4-0-4 with a 1.23 GAA and .952 save percentage to earn the Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP award. Ottawa fell to the Minnesota Frost in four games in the Walter Cup finals.
'This is a very exciting day for our organization,' Charge general manager Mike Hirshfeld said. 'Anyone who watched the PWHL Playoffs last year saw what an incredible player Gwyneth is and how she can impact a game. When we drafted her, we believed that she had the ability to be one of the top goaltenders in the world, and after her performances last year, we are even more convinced.'
