List of Ottawa Charge players

Brianne Jenner, the franchise's first captain.

The Ottawa Charge are a professional women's ice hockey team based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and compete in the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). Founded on August 29, 2023, the Charge are one of the league's six original franchises.[1] The team plays its home games at TD Place Arena in Lansdowne Park, and represents one of the premier professional sports organizations in Canada's capital alongside the NHL's Ottawa Senators and the CFL's Ottawa Redblacks. As one of the PWHL's three original Canadian franchises, the Charge have played a prominent role in the league's development and growth since its inception.

The franchise competed under the temporary name "PWHL Ottawa" during the league's inaugural season before unveiling its permanent identity as the Ottawa Charge on September 9, 2024. The name was selected to reflect energy, momentum, and determination, qualities associated with both the city and the sport of hockey. The club's colours—Electric Red, Capital Black, and Velocity Silver—and its stylized "C" crest were designed to symbolize speed, strength, and forward motion, reinforcing the team's connection to Ottawa and its competitive identity.

Ottawa built its inaugural roster around Canadian national team players Brianne Jenner, Emily Clark, Emerance Maschmeyer, and Ashton Bell. Jenner was named the franchise's first captain, while Maschmeyer emerged as one of the league's top goaltenders and Bell became a key part of the team's defensive core. They opened the inaugural PWHL season on January 2, 2024, against Montreal. Hayley Scamurra scored the first goal in franchise history during the contest,[2] while Ottawa earned its first victory on January 13, defeating Toronto 5–1 behind a strong performance from Maschmeyer.[3] On March 21, 2024, Maschmeyer recorded the first shutout in franchise history, making 26 saves in a victory over New York.[4] Although Ottawa narrowly missed qualifying for the playoffs in its inaugural campaign, the team established a strong foundation and quickly developed rivalries with fellow Canadian clubs Montreal and Toronto.

The Charge reached new heights during the 2024–25 PWHL season, earning their first playoff berth and advancing to the Walter Cup Final. Rookie goaltender Gwyneth Philips starred during the postseason, helping Ottawa upset the regular-season champion Montreal Victoire and earning the Ilana Kloss Playoff Most Valuable Player award. Ottawa ultimately fell in four games in the Final, while Rebecca Leslie received the 2025 Intact Impact Award, recognizing her leadership, community involvement, and contributions both on and off the ice.

In the 2025–26 PWHL season, Ottawa returned to the Walter Cup Final despite losing key players through expansion. Rookies Sarah Wozniewicz and Fanuza Kadirova played important roles in a semifinal upset of the Boston Fleet, though the Charge were again defeated by the Montreal Victoire in four games. Consecutive appearances in the 2025 and 2026 Walter Cup Finals helped establish Ottawa as one of the PWHL's leading franchises and a consistent championship contender.

As of the conclusion of the 2025–26 PWHL season, a total of 55 different players have played at least one game for the franchise; of them, 5 are goaltenders, while 50 are skaters.

Key

The seasons column lists the first year of the season of the player's first game and the last year of the season of the player's last game. For example, a player who played one game in the 2023–24 season would be listed as playing with the team from 2023–24, regardless of what calendar year the game occurred within.

Statistics are complete to the end of the 2025–26 PWHL season.
