The Boston Fleet announced this week that it has secured forward Olivia Mobley and goaltender Amanda Thiele with one‑year PWHL Standard Player Agreements for the upcoming 2026‑27 campaign, a move that cements core pieces of a squad that reached the playoffs last season.
A Strategic Roster Build
Mobley, a 24‑year‑old from St. Louis Park, Minnesota, was originally drafted in the third round of the 2025 PWHL Draft. After posting five points in ten games before a mid‑season injury, she returned to help the team during the playoffs, showcasing the resilience that made her a fan favorite.
Thiele, also 24 and hailing from Milford, Michigan, delivered a standout performance on March 29, turning aside 21 shots to propel Boston to a crucial victory over Minnesota that secured the franchise’s playoff berth.
The club’s roster will continue to feature award‑winning talent such as defenseman Megan Keller, forward Haley Winn and goaltender Aerin Frankel, all of whom have been integral to the team’s recent successes.
The 2026 PWHL Draft took place on Wednesday, and the Phase 6 Open Signing Period will open on Friday, giving the Fleet additional opportunities to shape a competitive lineup for the next season.
Beyond individual contracts, the moves reflect the broader growth of the Professional Women’s Hockey League, which launched its inaugural season in January 2024 and has already broken attendance records, holding the worldwide record for a women’s hockey game.
