HAMILTON, ON (June 6, 2026) – PWHL Hamilton today announced that forward Alina Müller has been signed to a three-year Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) Standard Player Agreement ahead of the team’s inaugural 2026-27 season. Müller, who was under contract with the Boston Fleet, joins PWHL Hamilton on a new deal through the 2028-29 campaign and becomes the third of five players to be added during Phase 2 of the PWHL’s Expansion Roster Distribution Process.
Müller joined Boston as the third overall pick in the inaugural PWHL Draft, becoming the league’s first-ever international player to be selected and is the Fleet’s all-time leading scorer — and highest scoring international player in league history. The Winterthur, Switzerland, native was named a finalist for the 2024 PWHL Rookie of the Year award and went on to record her most productive offensive season in her third campaign (2025-26), with 21 points (4G, 17A) in 30 games. In 80 career regular-season games, Müller is tied for the most assists in PWHL history with 40 and sits tied for 10th all-time in scoring with 56 points. Named an alternate captain ahead of the 2025-26 season, she has also appeared in 12 postseason games with the Fleet, recording seven points (3G, 4A). Internationally, the 28-year-old Northeastern University graduate is a four-time Olympian (2014, 2018, 2022, 2026) and a two-time Olympic bronze medalist. She scored the game-winning goal for Switzerland at both the 2014 and 2026 Olympics and ranks seventh in all-time Olympic scoring with 29 points (16G, 13A) in 26 games.
The addition of Müller by PWHL Hamilton follows Friday’s Phase 2 signings of forward Brianne Jenner and goaltender Kayle Osborne, both to three-year contracts.
Phase 2 of the Expansion Player Distribution Process, which began Friday at 12 p.m. ET and continues until Monday, June 8 at 1 p.m. ET, allows each expansion team to build the foundation of its roster by acquiring five players through signings and, if necessary, a player selection process. Only players identified on an expansion team’s initial 20-player Exclusive Negotiation Target List are eligible to be signed during Phase 2. Existing teams can lose a maximum of three players who are under contract for the 2026-27 season during this phase. Read the full rules here.
A complete list of player signings and transactions is available on the official PWHL Transactions Page. To see the full overview of the status of PWHL player contracts ahead of Phase 2, visit the PWHL Contract Guide here.
