Read Time:2 Minute, 10 Second

The Toronto Sceptres have fortified their crease for the 2026–27 PWHL season by signing goaltender Grace Campbell to a one-year Standard Player Agreement.

After going undrafted in the 2026 PWHL Draft in Detroit, the 23-year-old Kensington, Maryland native quickly emerged as one of the most compelling unrestricted free agents on the market. Toronto acted swiftly to secure her talents, bringing a proven high-volume backstop into their professional system.

Four Years of Dominance at Boston College

Campbell heads to Toronto following a collegiate career defined by dependability, resilience, and leadership at Boston College. Over four seasons with the Eagles, she established herself as the anchor of Chestnut Hill’s defense.

Elite Numbers: Across her collegiate career, Campbell posted 54 wins, 13 shutouts, a 2.35 goals-against average (GAA), and a .926 save percentage in over 100 appearances.
Unwavering Consistency: Remarkably, Campbell’s season save percentage never dipped below .923 in any of her four years at BC (.925 in 2022–23, .923 in 2023–24, .930 in 2024–25, and .927 as a senior in 2025–26).
Captaincy & Leadership: She capped off her time on the Heights by serving as team captain during her senior season, demonstrating her influence both on and off the ice.
Trailblazing Roots: Before her NCAA career, Campbell made hockey history as a member of the Potomac Patriots in the USPHL Elite, becoming the first female goaltender to earn a victory in league history.

Contract Details

Campbell’s deal with Toronto is a one-year Standard Player Agreement for the upcoming 2026–27 PWHL season.

She enters a competitive goaltending room that includes returner Raygan Kirk and fellow newcomer Jessie McPherson, rounding out Toronto’s netminding trio ahead of training camp.

How This Move Helps Toronto

Adding a goaltender of Campbell’s caliber delivers key advantages for the Sceptres heading into the new season:

Crease Depth & Healthy Competition: In a league where goaltending workload management and injury backup are crucial, having three reliable netminders ensures Toronto won’t be caught short-handed in high-stakes moments.
Proven High-Volume Performance: At BC, Campbell routinely faced heavy shot counts while keeping her team competitive. Her capacity to stay poised under constant pressure translates seamlessly to the elevated pace of professional play.
Locker-Room Leadership: Having captained a top-tier NCAA program, Campbell brings maturity, professionalism, and high hockey IQ to a Sceptres squad balancing veteran depth and young talent.

By locking in Campbell on a one-year deal, Toronto gains a poised, proven puck-stopper ready to challenge for crease time and elevate the team’s defensive floor.
