KAMLOOPS — The first Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) player from Kamloops has signed an extension with her club. 


The Ottawa Charge announced they’ve re-signed goaltender Kendra Woodland to a one-year contract through the 2026-27 PWHL season. 

The 26-year-old standout with the University of New Brunswick Reds earned a contract for the 2025-26 season after completing a tryout with the Charge. In her only game last season, Woodland stopped 14 of 16 shots in relief after entering the Charge’s game against the Minnesota Frost on March 18. 

In a news release issued Thursday (June 18), the Charge say Woodland was re-signed during Phase 5 of the PWHL’s Expansion Player Distribution Process. It provides existing PWHL clubs an exclusive window to re-sign their own players on expiring contracts ahead of the 2026-27 season.
