Swedish Women’s Hockey League club Modo Hockey announced today that Charlotte Sonntag, a standout forward from Holy Cross, has inked her first professional contract, marking a significant milestone in both her career and the club’s ongoing push to develop elite talent.
Sonntag’s collegiate résumé reads like a Hall of Fame highlight reel. Over four seasons with the Crusaders she amassed 150 points, ranking third in program history for goals and seventh overall in points, while also becoming the first Holy Cross player to notch a hat trick in the Hockey East era.
A New Chapter in Swedish Hockey
Based in Örnsköldsvik, Modo Hockey is celebrated across Europe for its player development programs, which blend rigorous on‑ice training with comprehensive off‑ice support. The club’s reputation for nurturing future stars makes it a natural next step for a player of Sonntag’s caliber.
The signing also underscores the growing transatlantic pipeline that brings top North American talent to Scandinavia’s elite leagues. With the contract in place, Sonntag will join a roster that includes several Olympic‑caliber athletes, offering her a platform to showcase her skills on a larger stage.
Fans in both Sun Valley, Idaho, and the broader Hockey East community are expected to follow her progress closely, as her move signals a new era of cross‑continental collaboration in women’s hockey.
