PWHL Vancouver signs forward Hannah Miller on first day of free agency

PWHL Vancouver signed former Toronto Sceptres forward Hannah Miller as a free agent on Monday.
The expansion team announced the deal on the first day of the league's free agency window.
The 29-year-old Miller played two seasons in Toronto, and had 10 goals and 14 assists in 29 games last season. She previously spent five seasons with the KRS Vanke Rays in China.
'I'm truly honored and very excited to be joining the team in Vancouver,' Miller said. 'It means so much to me to represent the city where I first fell in love with the game. It's a real full-circle moment, and I can't wait to meet all the fans and get started!'
The native of North Vancouver, British Columbia, represented China at the 2022 Beijing Olympics and scored the host country's first goal of the Games.
Miller was named to Canada's roster for this year's women's world hockey championship in March, but was later ruled ineligible due to International Ice Hockey Federation transfer rules.
'Hannah is an elite forward who can put up points and wear down opponents,' Vancouver general manager Cara Gardner Morey said. 'We are excited to bring her home to Vancouver to be part of our foundation.'
Vancouver will continue adding to its inaugural season roster with six picks in the 2025 PWHL Draft on June 24, including the seventh overall selection.

Injury sidelines Andre De Grasse from Canadian championship, Audrey Leduc wins women's 100 metres

Andre De Grasse is skipping the Canadian championship in Ottawa due to tightness in his hamstring. De Grasse, a seven-time Olympic medallist and the anchor of Canada's 4x100-metre gold-medal team at the 2024 Paris Summer Games, said the injury will keep him from competing this weekend. "Unfortunately, I won't be competing this weekend," De Grasse told CTV News. "I picked up a little bit of tightness a couple of weeks ago with my hamstring so I'm going to play it safe and not do any extra damage I need to do. I'll just be here this weekend signing autographs, doing meet-and-greets, taking pictures and just hanging out with my fans and making sure everyone has a chance to see me." However, the 200m Olympic champion from 2021 said he'll be good to for the World Athletics Championship when the event takes play in Tokyo from Sept. 13-21. "I have about five-six weeks, so I should be good. It's just a little bit of tightness in my hamstring so I don't want to risk it and make it worse," De Grasse said. "I've been getting a lot of treatment from the team doctors here, making sure I'm ready to go when it matters." On the track, sprinter Audrey Leduc of Gatineau, Que., won the senior women's 100-metres championship on Friday night, clocking 11.06 to top the eight-runner final at the Canadian track and field championships. The 26-year-old Leduc, who holds the Canadian records in the 100-metres (10.95) and 200 metres (22.36) — both set in 2024 — finished just ahead of Olympian Sade McCreath (11.09) of Ajax, Ont., and Jacqueline Madogo (11.21) of Ottawa, who became the 200-metres national champion in 2023. Olympian sprinter Duan Asemota of Montreal won the men's 100-metre championship in a 10.12 photo finish, just edging out Aaron Brown (10.13) of Toronto, who was part of Canada's 4x100-metre relay team that won gold in 2024. Eliezer Adjibi (10.21) of Ottawa finished third.
