SEATTLE (July 16, 2025) – PWHL Seattle today announced that 2025 PWHL Draft pick, goaltender Hannah Murphy, has signed a two-year Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Standard Player Agreement through the 2026-27 season. Murphy, who played her collegiate hockey at Colgate University, was the first goaltender selected in the 2025 PWHL Draft, going in the second round, 15th overall.
“Hannah strikes a difficult balance between size and athleticism,” said PWHL Seattle General Manager Meghan Turner. “Her agility, quick crease movement, and ability to seal the net make her well-suited for the speed and demands of the pro game. We’re excited to see her on the ice this season.”
A 21-year-old from Kingston, ON, Murphy played four seasons for the Raiders and is the program’s all-time leader with 73 wins and 18 shutouts. In 2024-25, she posted a 26-8-0 record with three shutouts, a 1.86 goals-against-average and a .939 save percentage to earn Second Team All-ECAC honors. She was also named to the All-ECAC Third team in the 2023-24 season, was a semi-finalist for ECAC Goalie of the Year in 2024, and a four-time recipient of ECAC Goalie of the Week.
“I am extremely grateful to officially sign with PWHL Seattle and make my dream of being a professional hockey player a reality,” said Murphy. “It means so much to have the chance to connect with Seattle’s passionate and supportive fanbase and play with a talented group of players to try to bring a championship to the city.”
Murphy is the second member of PWHL Seattle’s inaugural entry draft to sign following first round pick Jenna Buglioni, and was the second of six players selected on June 24 along with forwards Lily Delianedis, Jada Habisch, Olivia Wallin, and defender Lyndie Lobdell.
