List of Vancouver Goldeneyes players

Claire Thompson, one of the first players in franchise history.

The Vancouver Goldeneyes are a professional women's ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and members of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). The franchise was announced on April 23, 2025, as the league's first expansion team, with Seattle being added one week later to bring the PWHL to eight clubs.[1] The Goldeneyes began play during the 2025–26 season and play their home games at Pacific Coliseum, a historic venue that previously hosted the NHL's Vancouver Canucks. The club's creation followed the success of the PWHL Takeover Tour game at Rogers Arena in January 2025, which drew 19,038 fans and demonstrated strong support for professional women's hockey in British Columbia.

The team name and identity, unveiled on November 6, 2025, draw inspiration from the Common Goldeneye, a diving duck native to British Columbia's coastal waters and inland lakes, and were selected to symbolize speed, resilience, precision, and adaptability. The team's primary colours are Pacific Blue, Coastal Cream, and Earthy Bronze, with accent colours Sunset Gold and Sky Blue. Its crest features a stylized golden eye framed by wings pointing toward the Pacific Northwest, reflecting both the region's geography and the franchise's ambitions.[2]

Vancouver assembled its first roster through the 2025 PWHL expansion process and quickly became one of the league's most recognizable new franchises, anchored by a core that included Canadian national team standouts Ashton Bell, Sarah Nurse, Claire Thompson, Emerance Maschmeyer, and Kristen Campbell. Bell was selected first overall in the 2025 PWHL Expansion Draft and was subsequently named the first captain in franchise history on November 21, 2025, with Nurse and Thompson serving as alternate captains.

The Goldeneyes played their first regular-season game on November 21, 2025, hosting fellow expansion club Seattle in the opening game of the Pacific Northwest rivalry. Vancouver won its inaugural game in overtime, becoming the first of the two expansion franchises to record a victory. The matchup marked the beginning of what the league envisioned as one of its premier regional rivalries and helped establish a strong hockey presence for the PWHL on the West Coast.

As of the conclusion of the 2025–26 season, a total of 29 players have suited up for the Goldeneyes: 2 goaltenders and 27 skaters.

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.
