Laura Fuoco Joins Vancouver Goldeneyes Ahead of 2026‑27 Season
The Professional Women’s Hockey League announced today that forward Laura Fuoco has signed a one‑year Standard Player Agreement with the Vancouver Goldeneyes, securing her rights through the 2026‑27 campaign.
Fuoco, a native of Mississauga, Ontario, arrives after capturing the Swiss league championship earlier this year, a triumph that caps a standout international club stint.
Her collegiate career at Dartmouth College saw her compile 28 goals and 35 assists over 116 games, earning her a reputation as a versatile offensive threat.
During her time in the Ivy League, she was a finalist for the Mandi Schwartz Scholar‑Athlete of the Year award and garnered All‑Ivy League Honourable Mention honors, underscoring her blend of athletic and academic excellence.
The addition of Fuoco brings the Goldeneyes roster to 16 skaters, a group that already features a blend of seasoned forwards and defensive stalwarts.
The Vancouver franchise is one of twelve teams that compose the Professional Women’s Hockey League, a league that launched its inaugural season in January 2024 and has quickly become a benchmark for attendance, setting global records for women’s hockey crowds.
Since its inception, the PWHL has broken multiple attendance milestones, with the league’s most recent game drawing a historic crowd that highlighted growing enthusiasm for elite women’s hockey worldwide.
Beyond the ice, the league continues to partner with institutions such as ECAC Hockey, the Ivy League and Dartmouth College, leveraging academic and athletic collaborations to foster talent development.
Fans can expect Fuoco to contribute immediately, as her championship pedigree and Ivy League pedigree align with the Goldeneyes’ ambition to contend for the league title in their sophomore season.
