NEW YORK AND TORONTO (June 19, 2026) – The Ottawa Charge and the Seattle Torrent have completed a trade, with Ottawa acquiring forward Jenna Buglioni from Seattle in exchange for the rights to forward Neena Brick, who was selected by the Charge in the fifth-round (59th overall) in the 2026 PWHL Draft.
“Jenna was a highly regarded player in the draft last season and we are excited to add her skill and tenacity to our organization,” said Charge General Manager Mike Hirshfeld. “We believe that she has the ability to become a top player in this league and impact the game in all three zones.”
Buglioni was originally selected in the first round, eighth overall by the Torrent in the 2025 PWHL Draft, becoming the team’s first-ever draft pick, and appeared in 18 games across Seattle’s inaugural season. The 24-year-old from Port Moody, BC, played five seasons at Ohio State University, serving as captain in her final year, and helped the Buckeyes win two NCAA National Championships (2022 and 2024) with 166 points in 170 games across her collegiate career. She is currently under contract for the 2026-27 season.
“Jenna has been an important member of our team from our inception, and we're thankful for her contributions to establishing our roots in year one. We wish her the best in Ottawa,” said Torrent General Manager Meghan Turner. “Neena had a strong collegiate career and established herself at the professional level in the SDHL last year. We look forward to welcoming her in Seattle.”
Brick spent the 2025-26 season with MoDo Hockey of the SDHL where she finished third in team scoring with 19 points, including 11 goals in 35 games. Before turning pro overseas, the 22-year-old from Regina, SK, played four NCAA seasons at Colgate University, amassing 104 points (43G, 61A) in 150 career collegiate games. On the Torrent, she reunites with former Raiders teammates Hannah Murphy (2021-25), Danielle Serdachny (2021-24), and second-round pick Sydney Morrow (2023-24).
