PWHL Hamilton signs two players previously with the Ottawa Charge. Emily Clark, who has spent three seasons with Ottawa, joins teammate Brianne Jenner with the expansion franchise. Jenner, a former Ottawa captain and alternate captain earlier in her tenure, signs a three-year contract with Hamilton and is described as the expansion team’s first player.
Multiple reports indicate the transition follows Ottawa’s roster decisions regarding player protection. The Athletic says Jenner was left unprotected by the Ottawa Charge before Hamilton added her. Ottawa Citizen reports that Jenner posts on social media that “the organization has decided to move in a different direction,” reflecting the team change.
After the move, both players shift from Ottawa’s lineup to Hamilton’s, with Hamilton assembling an initial core for its upcoming PWHL season. The outlets agree on the players involved, the move to Hamilton, and the basic contract timing information reported for Jenner.
