A Strategic Signing for the Goldeneyes
The Vancouver Goldeneyes announced the addition of forward Laura Fuoco to a standard player agreement for the 2026‑27 PWHL season, reinforcing the roster with a player who blends size, skill and a championship pedigree.
Fuoco arrives after a standout campaign with EVZ Women’s Team in the Swiss Women’s Hockey League A, where she helped the side capture the league title and posted six goals with two assists in just ten games. Her performance in Switzerland followed a four‑year stint at Dartmouth College, where she compiled a career‑high 20 points and earned a reputation for a physical style of play.
Standing at 5‑foot‑11, Fuoco is the tallest player on the Goldeneyes’ roster, a trait that she leverages in board battles and net‑front presence. Her ability to use height and strength to protect the puck aligns with the team’s emphasis on a gritty, competitive identity.
The organization highlighted her collegiate success at Dartmouth, where she consistently contributed double‑digit points and was recognized by The Hockey News, which placed her 50th in the 2025 PWHL Draft rankings. That exposure underscores the anticipation surrounding her transition to the professional ranks.
General manager comments emphasized that Fuoco’s blend of size, experience in high‑stakes games and NCAA‑level production should provide depth and flexibility as the Goldeneyes aim to contend for a playoff berth in their sophomore PWHL season.
