PWHL's Toronto Sceptres sign forward Clair DeGeorge to one-year contract
The 26-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska, had two assists in 26 games with the Montréal Victoire last season.
DeGeorge helped the Minnesota Frost win the Walter Cup in the PWHL's inaugural 2024 season.
She had one assist in 23 regular-season games and appeared in all 10 of the team's playoff games.
DeGeorge is the eighth player to sign with the Sceptres this off-season, along with goaltender Elaine Chuli and forward Claire Dalton, who both played with her last season in Montreal.
The move comes a day before the PWHL's 2025 entry draft in Ottawa.
'We are excited to welcome Clair to our organization,' Sceptres general manager Gina Kingsbury, said in a release. 'Clair is a 200-foot centre that is defensively responsible with some offensive upside. She will bring PWHL experience to our lineup, including being a Walter Cup Champion.'

SDHL Set To Broadcast All Games On YouTube Next Season
Europe's top women's hockey league, the SDHL, will broadcast all games on YouTube next season, a move similar to what the PWHL did in season one. Previously, Swedish networks TV4 and SVT shared the league's broadcasting rights, but the league recognized more young fans are consuming games on social and digital platforms. "We are incredibly proud to announce that SDHL's matches next season will be broadcast on YouTube," said Angelica Lindeberg, CEO of the SDHL in a translated quote. "This makes the league more accessible than ever, both for fans in Sweden and internationally." That accessibility will also allow more North American teams from the NCAA to PWHL to regularly watch top players overseas. It's the focus on increasing the league's reach, and allowing for more storytelling controlled by the league that helped drive the decision. "YouTube as a broadcasting platform is a strategic step in SDHL's continued development," said Lindeberg. We want and need to maximize our reach, improve accessibility and create new opportunities for commercial collaborations – while offering the audience a modern and accessible experience. It is completely in line with our core values: to be brave and innovative." While marketing and a focus on high quality production are central to the move, the reach is a tremendous benefit, one the PWHL capitalized off during their exclusive run on YouTube. "It feels very exciting that SDHL will now be available globally on the world's largest video platform," said Viktor Johansson of XVI Sports, who negotiated the broadcast rights for the SDHL. "We see great opportunities to attract new fans, while giving all existing hockey fans a completely new way to experience world-class ice hockey." The SDHL season is set to begin September 5, 2025, roughly a week earlier than usual. The league will take a month long break for the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics, with their regular season concluding February 27.
